Goin' Down South
written by R.L. Burnside
from R.L.Burnside album My Black Name Ringin'
tabbed by Adrian Dumchus (dumchusa@aol.com)
played in Open D (D A D F# A D from low to high)
This is the stripped down acoustic version from My Black Name Ringin'.
The song is pretty simple, just make sure to let the notes on the
middle D string ring (where the notes are in parenthesis), and to
slightly mute the bass string with the palm.
