In a flash of inspiration I figured out the tuning, and the rest of the
song (Texts of songs ) more or less fell into place. Enjoy.

Skinflint, by Leo Kottke, on _Regards from Chunk Pink_
Transcribed by Dean Gaudet
Requirements: steel 6 string, slide (I use a full metal slide -- you could
get away with a shorter slide)
Leo is backed by a drum set on this recording. In order to get
the correct feel you'll have to play with a percussive attack. Don't
let notes ring much. The big hurdle to figuring out this song (Texts of songs ) was the
tuning. It's open C. Use a slide on your pinky, you'll need the other
three fingers for fretting notes.
+ above tab means use the slide for this part
b is a bend, either up or down depending on context
() a note which is fretted, but not played (as guides for a bend)
r mute out notes which are ringing on this string using the ring finger
of your left hand -- just flap it across the strings
x play this string muted -- no particular fret -- for percussion
/ slide up the neck
\ slide down the neck
h hammer on
p pull off
Order of parts: A ABCDE ABDCE AF
Part A:
+- fret 3rd fret and bend to 4th before this note, then release bend

Just barre all 6 strings, and don't worry about hitting just the
low 3 -- this is repeated so often that Kottke varies it by hitting
more than just the 3 low strings now and then. I pick these
sections using my middle and ring fingers as a pair, downstroke
on the beat, upstroke on the offbeat. Let the strings buzz a bit
too.
