Tom Russell - St. Olav's Gate Tabs

A tab I'm doing from work and memory. It's pretty much the same 4 chords throughout
 the song, and easy as hell to play. The solo sounds nice and is easy to play with 
some practice. About the same difficulty level as BOX OF VISIONS as far as the 
guitar solo goes. I like to play this tune live when there's a quite audience, and 
I have someone to harmonize for me. 

I've made a few posts in the last few days, and only have one request. Can anyone 
suggest any kick-ass tunes for me to figure out that are in the Tom Russell Style 
or Tom himself? Thx!!

Have fun! - Ken

SHE WAS A LADY, SHE CAME DOWN FROM BERGEN SHE SAID
SHE SPOKE LITTLE ENGLISH, THEY LAUGHED AND DRANK WHISKEY INSTEAD
IN THE MORNIN' HE FOUND IT... A ROSE WITH A NOTE ON HIS PLATE
IT SAID, "MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT ON THE CORNER OF ST. OLAV'S GATE"
