I don't remember if I've ever posted this song.  I stole the
arrangement from Chet Atkins, after hearing him play it on Austin City
Limits.  I learned it in an effort to teach myself to fingerpick, so
my version is pretty simple.

The hardest thing is to get the timing of the melody line right.  I
play this song with a Jazzy triplet (swing) rhythm.  The bass part
played with the thumb stays right on the downbeat, but the melody
jumps ahead of the beat sometimes:
