This is a little late for your gig, but I just saw this post and remembered that I worked out this song some years back. I dug thru the archives and found my tab notes.
I always thought this song had some cool steel, and at the time there wasn't really anything with the same stylistic approach on the radio. For those who aren't familiar with the song, it is from Martina McBride's "The Way That I Am" 1993 release - I've linked some .wav files for the tab - this is the closest I can get with my pedal setup - not sure if Paul has any different pedal/knee changes going on here. Comments, suggestions welcome.
