Happy Good Morning Blues - Bruce Cockburn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the album "High Winds White Sky" 1971.
Transcribed and tabbed by Jared White (whitej@lincoln.ac.nz)
                       and John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz)

Tuning: Standard (Cockburn tunes all strings down one semitone)
Timing: 4/4 with the odd tricky bit...
Notes : This tune needs swing!
        Measures 41 & 42 are real finger-busters.  If anyone has
        other suggestions, please Email us. It's fairly easy to
        simplify if necessary.
        Bracketed notes are optional.  Feedback appreciated.  Enjoy!!
