• Song:

    Sleepwalk

  • Artist:

    Santo And Johnny

  • Album:

    The Best of the Rest

There are quite a few tabs for this as well as lessons on youtube,
and most of them are pretty accurate but they don't include the rythm part 
and aren't broken into bars. 

There are of course many fingerings for each note. When there wasn't an obvious
choice, I chose the fingerings to allow for sliding to mimic the original.

Note that on some (probably most) recordings this song is played a half step higher,
so put a capo on the 1st fret if you are planning on playing along with the recording.

The time signature is 6/8. In each bar the rythm guitar could play 
root-strum-strum - root-strum-strum, i.e. the first bar of the intro 
for the rythm guitar is:

  C                               
e|-------------------------------|
B|------1--1-------1--1----------|
G|------0--0-------0--0----------|
D|------2--2-------2--2----------|
A|--3----------3-----------------|
E|-------------------------------|

I would suggest the  following chord shapes for the rythm part:

     C       C7      Am      Fm      G       G7      Bb

e|---0---|---0---|---0---|---1---|---3---|---3---|---6---|
