Tabs

written by Bukka White
from Bukka White album The Complete Bukka White
tabbed by Adrian Dumchus ([email protected])

played in Open Chord diagramD MajorD capo 4th (Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD from low to high)

/ - slide
~ - vibrato
p - pull

(fretted notes inside the (* *) are played with a slide)

The rhythm of the strumming is a little tough to pick up because of
the washboard in the background, so I just put in some different variations
for the verse that should give you a basic idea of how it goes.
Intro:
