The melody of Cat’s In The Cradle by Harry Chapin runs 330 notes across 29 bars, 2:48 long in Bb at 72 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
