Dan,
I went back and looked more closely at Drop-D. It does in fact make the fingerings easier to play. The TablEdit version of the arrangement will be available on the
Fretted Instruments website in the next day or so.
Dock of the Bay is a great song. I used to play an arrangement from one of Howard Morga's books. I'll see if I can locate a copy and get it to you.
