Seriously though, seems it could be a tough one to find. Google comes up with the chords, but no tab.

I thought plenty of people did? Maybe I'm just confused.

Check out some youtube vids. The one I just saw looked like finger-picked open chords. A few clues and a bit of trial and error might do the trick.

During the late 1970s/early 1980s, when Grammy Award-winning country singer Glen Campbell's popularity began to wane, the singer began abusing drugs and began a long-term affair with singer Tonya Tucker that was frequently reported in the supermarket tabloids. After 1989, Campbell pronounced himself clean and sober, a fact he restated in his 1994 autobiography Rhinestone Cowboy. However, in November 2003, Campbell was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, on drunk driving and hit and run charges. According to a police report, Campbell smashed into another car at an intersection and left the scene. When police approached Campbell at his home, the singer kicked an officer, which added an aggravated assault on a police officer charge. After spending ten days in jail, Campbell pled guilty to DUI and leaving the scene of an accident, receiving a sentence of community service.

After spending years as a renowned session musician in the 1950s and 1960s, during which time he replaced Brian Wilson for a period in The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell signed his first solo contract with Capitol Records in 1962. His solo career stalled until 1967, when he won two Grammys in the country and pop categories for 'Gentle On My Mind' and 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix.' Since then, Campbell has released over 70 albums and 27 top 10 hit singles, with record sales exceeding 45 million copies. His largest selling single was 'Rhinestone Cowboy,' which sold over two million copies. Campbell's other trademark singles include 'Wichita Lineman,' 'Where's The Playground Susie?,' and 'Galveston.' Campbell hosted his own TV variety show on CBS called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour from 1969 to 1972, and co-starred with John Wayne in True Grit, also composing and singing the movie's Oscar-nominated theme song. Campbell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
