Does any one have the tabs for the picking part of pearly shells?THANKS IN ADVANCE.;):eek:
 
I have 7 different versions of "Pearly Shells" on vintage vinyl and only one has a picking part and it is done as the intro of the song on what sounds like a lap steel guitar.

The way I pick it is...(I'm to lazy to tab out all 4 strings when you only need the string/fret (g4=g string 4th fret)
The sheet music notation shows the g4 as a LowG but it sounds just fine as high g too.

Code:
Pearl-y  shells from the o- cean shin-ing in the sun
g4    c2 e3     a0   a2  c2 c2   e3   e3  e2 e2  e0

  

cov-er-ing the shore when I   see them my heart tells me 
e2  e2 e3  e3  a0    g4   c2  e3  e3   a0 a2    a3    a3



that I  love you more than all the lit-tle pearl-y   shells
a2   a3 a3   a3  e3   a0   a2  a2  a3  a0  e2    c2  e3


I took this from the Jumpin Jim's "Gone Hawaiian" sheet music book and tabbed this using the notes from the G major scale "#" as that is the key the song is in the book.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

I'd love a copy of these tabs too, please? My daughter has just been born and we have named her Pearl, this has to be her tune!
Kind regards,
