You can get the 6 minor by adding the 7th string to the pedals down position, or slide down to the 3rd fret with no pedals and lower the E's. Is one of those the sound you're hearing?

The teenage band I'm playing with does this tune, but admittedly I've only listened to the original song once on the tape they gave me, just to get the feel. I'll see if I haven't recorded over the tape yet and listen to it again. I never listen to the top 40 "Country" stations.

Rayman, I think I know the part you're talking about. I went home and worked on the song. The steeler is at fret 5, strings 6 & 8 with the B pedal. He slides from there down to fret 3 releasing the B pedal and engaging the D lever (lowers the E's). Depending on how you look at your guitar, the 3rd fret with a D lever is a D chord but it is also a Bm.

The song does step out of the D scale in the last bar of the chorus for 4 beats. It's a C chord but a 2m will work with A pedal down at the 3rd fret but a C chord sounds better. I will chart the entire song for those that are interested.
