Walking Slow

This song is from a classic album - eight great songs. I always thought that they should play 'Walking Slow' at my funeral... "I'm feeling good today, but if I die a little farther along, I'm trusting everyone to carry on."
The song has a lead guitar solo in it, which I carefully ignored. The bass line is heavy in the original as well as here, but I didn't add the part that sounds like it was played on a bass-kazoo (I don't know what the instrument is, but it sounds like a deep-pitched kazoo to me). I transposed the piano from the original key of A to the key of F - it's easier to sing, although it does change the "feel" from up-beat to slightly sad.
Voices: Piano, Drums, Picked Bass, Strings, Tambourine.
