Guitar Tab
Submitted By: s g/f EMail: b3a16@unb.ca OK, here we have a ten-bar blues in Bminor. The song is written for two guitars. (play it very slowly, the song takes almost four minutes to get through about 40 bars of music). Here is the rhythm guitar: intro (play once) -----------9---------|---------------|---------------|---------------| ---------------------|-3-------------|-3-------------|-3-------------| ---------------------|-4-------------|-4-------------|-4-------------| ---------------------|-4-------------|-4-------------|-4-------------| -----7-8-9---------0-|-2-----------0-|-2-----------0-|-2-----------0-| ----------------3----|----------3----|----------3----|----------3----|

Since the song is so slow, most people should be able to figure it out from the recording. I guess that should do it.
