I'm wondering if anybody has the music or arrangement for
"I Forget You Every Day" ?
It was written and recorded by Merle Haggard and also by Gene Watson.
I just love that song and would like to tab it out.
Thanks,
Erv

Erv,
Not sure if this helpful, not sure if ultimate guitar is accurate at all, but there’s this:

A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

Great song, in the comments section someone says that its Smiley Roberts on steel.

Yes, it has kind of a haunting melody, sounds like a lot of minor chords.

Erv,
Curious as to why you want/need the sheet music? I've seen you ask for sheet music before.
This is a pretty standard country song. There are 4#dim7 and 2-7 passing chords/substitutions which you could play the song without. But even those are pretty common changes on top quality records.
Not trying to be argumentative or arrogant. Asked sincerely.

Nope, that chord chart isn't like the record.
