     Lord  and it's not, not made   by    hand.

  

  This is an attempt to tab this song in the Merle Travis finger picking

  style. 

  The melody notes on the first and second string are played with the

  fingers. 

  While the bass and rhythm are played with the thumb.  Notes on the same

  vertical line are played simultaneously with the thumb and fingers.  I

  finger

  the basic chord indicated removing only those finger or fingers

  necessary to

  play or reach the melody note.  Comments, suggestions, corrections and

  improvements are welcomed.
