Southern Comfort by Ry Cooder
From the 1981 film by Walter Hill

Tabbed from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=924ip7wWf-o and ear...

Soothing guitar piece from the amazing movie.
try to do it with slide, or, if you are unsure how to do it, use your finger to bar the strings.
Just listen to the record to figure out the rhythm.

Main riff: (you can throw this in anytime)
