A Way To Survive - Ray Price

Does anyone have the tab of this great song or willing to work it out? Beginner here and I just can't seem to get it. I do well with playing by ear with guitar but I just haven't got it yet for PSG although I think I have figured out that its in the key of C. I have the song if needed from the Essential Ray Price album. I love the playing in this song and have no clue who recorded it for Ray.

I have seen the intro and lead in text form on this forum but I can't remember whose it was.

It is pretty easy except for the chimes if you haven't figured out how to do that.

The lead and intro are part of this package and all of the parts are just about like the recordings.

If you want to learn the melody, Erv Niehaus has it for $2.00.

I can assure you Erv's is good. You may find it on Mickey Adams too. I have it also by Buddy Emmons, his tab. You can get it at Buddy's site, it come with several others you will like too.

Thanks for the information guy's. Looking at Mickeys instruction, I wasn't to far off. I guess I was a little impatient. I guess on Buddy's site you have to request the CD?

Yes, I have it for $2 plus postage, the whole song.

It was the one and only Buddy Emmons that recorded that with Ray!

Thanks. I had a feeling it was Big E. His playing is so smooth on this song it just draws me in. Its probably the single thing that attracts me to this song. Although Ray's interpretation isn't shabby. Now if I can learn to play PSG and sing at the same time like I do on guitar. HMMM
