Chet Atkins inspired Mr. Sandman arrangement

This is an arrangement of Mr. Sandman that’s really close to the Chet Atkins version. It follows the same chord changes, key modulations and the boom chick finger style. This arrangement does not follow the Chet version note for note though. Chet Atkins veers away from the melody a bit and gets away from his self accompaniment at some point. This keeps the melody and keeps the boom chick going. Some of the stretchy voicings were changed to make it easier on the fretting hand. The tab and notation have an abundance of chord diagrams. I feel this makes it easier for your hands to know where to go at a glance.
