Woke up this morning with “ Suicide is Painless” , theme song to MASH tv series, on the radio ... Does anyone have a 3 string tab for this ?.... It’s stuck in my head now and I have to play it !!

Thanks! One of the cable channels had a MASH marathon on, so I recorded them all to catch up on the hundred or so I missed. I binged watch for 2-3 weeks and had one hell of a time dumping that tune from my head. I read your header and "it's back"! Like you I like the tv version, but was never a fan of the film version(vocal).

in a different key but better.. this is not going to be easy on 3 strings. you will need to play around with different chord fingerings to find a way that sounds nice.. maybe a different tuning might help? G7 tuning might be better. here is an Eagles version..

even on a 6 string that D7 doesnt sound right to me..( or its my bad playing, lets go with that!! )
EDIT: i dont think i ever heard the Eagles play this so that last link is a wrong atribution..
