Roll The Bones tab by Shakey Graves

Tabs

• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

The actual tuning involves tuning the G+G string, which I want to avoid. Therefore I am providing this
alternate method of tuning.

Tuning (starting from highest pitch string): c E MajorE G+G C majorC G+G C.

Then to match the pitch played by Shakey Graves, capo 1.
