Now that I think about it, and count the measures, you are correct as to what Turk played.  And I was told that is the way it was originally written.  

Of course it was some 35 years since I heard him play it.  But I'm sure on the 3rd measure he played / Em Am /  

When I first heard him do it, I didn't like it.  But it grew on me.  

Oh yes, now I remember, Dick Cary told me that Turk played it the way it was originally written.  

As far as the F on the 2nd half of the 2nd measure, personally I don't care for it.  But that is just my personal preference.
