Does anyone have tab for Linda Ronstadt's version of " I can't help it if I'm still in love with you?

I don't know how close my version is to Linda Ronstadt's version but I do have an E9th tab for this song. Very Happy

I think this should get you somewhere close to the intro and solo.

You don't see many arrangements written in 5 sharps. Whoa!

It's where Linda sang it on the recording I have. Not my favorite key either.

Dan Dugmore's solo on Linda Ronstadt's original version is an all time pedal steel guitar Classic.

You're probably thinking of Blue Bayou on Ronstadt's later album Ron that featured the iconic steel parts as played by Dan Dugmore.

The Heart Like a Wheel was one of my early records that I had access to and played it to death. I remember being inspired early on before I even started trying to play steel by listening to Sneaky Pete on I Can't Help It. I always tried to mimic it when I had the chance to play it and can still hear that break in my head.
