The melody of Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson runs 302 notes across 54 bars, 2:52 long in G at 150 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.
