Dead Flowers Diatonic Tab for Rolling Stones fans

Hey gang, I've been away for far too long. Anyway I need a few canjo or strumbox pickers to check my Tabbing out. I know there are at least 2 Rolling Stones fans out there!!!! Did I do this right???
This sounds right to me but I'd like to be sure.

Sounds ok to me. It is the first tab I have seen for diddly bo. I dragged one out and tried it.

I do like that song a lot. Reminds me of an ex,,,"Queen of the Underground".

Thanks Gary!! It took me far longer than I thought to figure it out and then I also wondered why there are so few tabs for single strings!! While ya can make a lot of fun noise with zero musical knowledge, I think mastering the full spectrum of the instrument is far more interesting.
