Thread Name: Tune Req: I Believe I'll Dust My Broom (R Johnson)
Subject: RE: Seeking Tab and Tuning to
I think this should do it. I tried using some TAB writing software and converting to text, but I wasn't happy with the results. I ended up using a text editor. Once that was done I've converted it to HTML. I'm pretty sure there aren't any tab characters in the text so this should work, since I've tested this with my browser. However, if it doesn't, we can always ask Joe Offer to fix it up.
