written by Bukka White
from Bukka White album The Complete Bukka White
tabbed by Adrian Dumchus (dumchusa@hotmail.com) 

played in Open D capo 4th (D A D F# A D 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:

  (*                                           *)                   (*   *)
