Song: "Even the Man in the Moon is Crying" intro/turnaround

Does anyone have the tab or offer any help to learning the steel intro/turnaround for the Mark Collie song "Even the Man in the Moon is Crying"? I have am using a standard emmons setup.

Thanks,

Here's the intro (or something close), Craig. The cool part is on line 2 with the "pre-loaded" G lever that raises the first string a full tone.

thank you so very much for your help and for the tab. I don't have a G Lever on my guitar that raises the 1st string a whole tone. Is there anyway to get the lick on the 2nd line of the tab without it? That is the specific lick that I am struggling with. Thanks so much.

Here are two other options, Craig.

With Option 1 you lose the ringing of the unison note on the third string at the 13th fret because you have to block it and move the bar up to the 15th fret.

Option 2 is good "sliding and slanting" practice. The whole secret is to let that note on the third string at the 13th fret ring while you slant the tip of the bar up to the 15th fret on the first string and then pivot the bar tip back to the 13th fret on the first string. (hope that makes sense)
