Lullaby Baby Blues by Mo Keb

Chords with lyrics

Tabber: John Seekins ([email protected])

(from the album "Just Like You")
-------------------------------

OK.  Here's another Keb' Mo' tune that's easy.  His secret is the open

tuning.  In this case, open Bb.  This is how he gets those nice harmonics
while stilling keeping rhythm.  Or he could be good enough to be able to
pluck them w/ two fingers while still playing w/ his thumb. I know, weird

tuning, but hey!, it's a great song to impress chicks w/.  I don't use open
Chord diagramBb majorBb because, unlike Keb' Mo', I am merely a poor college student w/ only one
guitar.  Therefore, it is much too difficult to tune for just one song.  So
for me, this song is played capoed at the third fret.
Chords:

(open)          (w/ capo)

Chorus:  F-Eb-Bb

On the last chorus, he plays the Chord diagramEb MajorEb a little longer

This entire song is played w/ an alternating bass pattern.  I think!

Meaning, in the case of the Bb, in standard tuning, you would keep a quater

note pulse going, alternating between Chord diagramBb majorBb and Chord diagramFF or Chord diagramD MajorD w/ your thumb.
