Go Down Moses Tab by Martin Simpson

Go Down Moses tab by Martin Simpson

Guitar Tab

An old American gospel tune from 'A Closer Walk With Thee', where Simpson
segues into this from 'O Jerusalem' (which I have also transcribed -
you have a copy). They do make a nice pairing.

It's a fairly straightforward piece, but take care not to let any open
strings other than the Ds ring during the slides in measures 5, 9 and 17.
