Martha's Waltz

Hey guys and gals, does anyone have tab or know the chords to Martha’s Waltz??? I love this song and would like to learn Bryan Sutton’s version off of Bluegrass Guitar album. I have managed to pick out the A part chords but the second part has me pulling out my hair, I believe it’s in the key of D but there are some minor chords in here, I think the 6th and 3rd but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jerry :mrgreen:

I believe that would be Margaret’s waltz , The long haired music guys do a Martha’s waltz I will keep looking to see what I can find as I have never heard it before but I like waltz music . and I like this one. I will search out all I can to find it for you and me . Here is a good one showing how it is played

I don’t know why I typed Martha when I meant Margaret’s Waltz…maybe just frustrated!! Can’t find a darn thing of any value. Thanks Welder…Jerry :mrgreen:

A mistake anyone could make . no big deal , I did not know that but when I searched martha’s waltz Sutton was nowhere to be found and it was classical bands that were playing that one. I will keep looking for more on that one ,.
