I'm Waiting For The Man tab by John Cale

Tabs

Song:I'm Waiting for the Man (written by Lewis Reed)

Artist: John Cale

Tabbed by Paul S. Whiston from the version on
John Cale Live St. Valentine's Night
1984 (Japanese bootleg). This also sounds close
to the Mo Tucker version and I feel its important to document.
Essentially its the standard live blues version available on Velvet
Underground CDs.
