Deep River Blues tab by Doc Watson
Guitar tabs
Thanks Bill & Will for getting this one started, It's one of my favorites too. This is from memory, so it could be a little off. Learned it over 25 years ago and it's still the first song I whip out when asked to play something. Here's a little more detail. Position your fingers like so: 1-Ring 2-Middle 3-Index 4-Thumb 5-Thumb 6-Thumb
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
This is the cord shape you want to start with (E7). Just bounce between the 6th and 4th strings with your thumb for now: -7- -5- -7- -6- -0- -0- Then move the same cord shape down one fret for 4 notes, and back up again for 4, keep bouncing till you're ready to start. It looks like this tabbed out. Mute strings 4,5,and 6 with the heal of your palm against the bridge. This stays fairly constant throughout the song and gives the effect of two different guitars playing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------6-----------------6------------------5----------------------5-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --0-----------------0-----------------0---------------------0------------- --7------------7------------------7---6---------------6----------------6-- -----------5-----------------5------------------5------------------5------ ------7-----------------7------------------6-------------------6---------- -----------6-----------------6------------------5------------------5------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --0-----------------0-----------------0--------------------0-------------- (E7) Let it rain---------------------(E flat 6) let ... -7p0---3/4---0---------0---3p2--------0--------0-------------------------- -----------------0h2---------------------0h2------------------------------ -------3/4---0------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------2-------------2---------2------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -0-------------------------0----------0-----------0----------------------- (E7) Let it rain--------------(A) a ... ----------------0-----------------3b-----0--2------------3--3b--0-------0- ----0-----2-----------0-----2------------------0------3------------0h2---- ----------------------------------------------------2--------------------- -2-----------2-----------2------------2-----------1----------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------0-----------0-----------0------------0---------0------------------- (E) I've got them deep-------------- river ---- (B7) blues --7------------7------------------7------6------------6----------------6-- -----------5-----------------5-------------------5-----------------5------ ------7-----------------7--------------------6-----------------6---------- -----------6-----------------6-------------------5-----------------5------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --0-----------------0--------------------0-----------------0-------------- (E7) Let that rain----------------------(E flat 6) drive ... -7p0---3/4---0---------0---3p2------0----------0------------------3b--0--- -----------------0h2---------------------0h2------------0--2--0----------- -------3/4---0------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------2-------------2---------2------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------1-------------- -0-------------------------0--------0-------------0--4-------------------- (E7) Let that river just (A) sweep me along--(E) I've got them (B7) deep --------0-------0-------0-------0---------0-- -0h2p0--------------------------------------- -----------0h1-----0h1-----0h1--------------- -------------2----------2--------------2----- --------------------------------------------- --------0----------0---------0-----0------0-- -river (E) blues That's it for the verses, here's a nice way to finish it. -0---------------------------------4---------3---------2-----0----------- -------------------------------------------------------------0----------- ------------------------------3/4-----4---3-----3---2-----2--1----------- --------------------1--2-------------------------------------2----------- -------0--1--2--4--------------------------------------------2----------- -0--4---------------------0 (let ring)-----------------------0----------- -blues.
