Mood Indigo Tab by Ellington Duke

Mood Indigo tab by Ellington Duke

Guitar Tab

This is arranged mainly for the thumb & index finger, and states
 the outline of the tune.  Ad libs are optional.

 Where it looked necessary, I've added > marks for the beats in the
 4/4 rhythym.  The double bars & *'s mark the places to begin & end
 repeats.  (These came straight from the Bucket 'O Tab Windows soft-
 ware, credited below.)

 Enjoy ...
