It's one of my favourites to play, but I don't do it as well as you do Charles. Very nice indeed.

Thank you for that C. Nyal.
I wish I had this tabbed out so I could provide you a copy.
It's really just simple melody with some right hand flourishes and brushes and a few left hand slides and hammer-ons.

David, I haven't written tab in 25 yrs, but I'll start on this next week and maybe one or two more.

I wrote up some tab in PDF form for this and they are in the Tab Archive on BHO.
I do not guarantee this is musically correct and I do not guarantee it is just how I played it in the MP3 I posted. I kept finding myself making little changes as I wrote the tab.
I did two versions, one "easy", just to provide the melodies as I play them and one "better" with the left and right hand flourishes and slurs.
If you get the simple melodies down, the slightly more complicated version should be a piece of cake.
I tend to really accentuate the down beat notes on this song just to keep the rhythm driving. After all, it's Gospel. Let it preach.
If you like this one I can labor through a couple more.
Charlie

I added a tab for We Will Understand It Better By and By written by Charles A Tindley.
I linked it and Are You Washed to the Gospel group.
Both should be easy for all of you because if I can play them, most any banjoist can play them.

There was a notation error on the firs tab images I loaded to BHO.
It has been corrected.
