Here's my first attempt at TAB notation.

Greg Vaughn [email protected] The Dance Written by Tony Arata Performed by Garth Brooks Transcription by Greg Vaughn

Here's the song that, in my opinion, launched a superstar

Keyboard intro (I like how it sounds on guitar)

Guitar intro

1: Looking back on the memory of 2: Holding you I held everything

1: The dance we shared 'neath the stars above 2: For a moment wasn't I a king

1: For a moment all the world was right 2: If I'd only known how the king would fall

1: How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye 2: Then, who's to say you know I might have changed it all

Chorus

And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go % C D %Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance

Keyboard ending 1

Keyboards continue through arpeggios, but I play the following guitar chords

Em/C/Dsus D/Em7(add 4th)/ repeat and fade (slash separates measures)

NOTES: I generally fingerpick the verses with a timtrtmi. It's not exactly What's on the CD, but it's close. If anyone has something better, I'd be happy to hear about it. Bm7 is played Em7(add4) is played 002030 It helps to play the G with your middle, ring, and pinky fingers Just slide 2 frets up the neck to get the D/G chord in the guitar intro Listen to the song to get the rhythm The "G C/G G C/G" in the verses are played like the guitar intro

If you download this then I assume that you are a country music fan like me. I haven't found enough country songs in the archive, so I'll begin sending Some of my own, hoping that others will send some that I don't know. If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no sense (this is my first attempt at tab notation) feel free to e-mail me.
