Waitin For The Light To Shine From Big River Tab by Roger Miller ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waitin For The Light To Shine - Roger Miller (from the musical Big River) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Doron Kipper Email: magicdgk@gmail.com This is the slow version, not the reprise. I did this by ear, and it sounds pretty to me...but please email me if you have any comments, suggestions, or corrections. I like to note that in the soundtrack...I think there are two guitars playing...but I have this for solo play. If you found this tab useful...please drop me a note to me know that my efforts weren't wasted. I do not recommend trying this with a pick...it's a fingerpicking song. Also, I have written a tab before so my sense of timing through the lines is horrible...if you are as to how fast the song should be, listen to the soundtrack or email me and I can send audio of me playing the song exactly as written here. Enjoy.
