Apart from the intro, this is it (sans slight variations that you can
figure out by ear, butnoone will notice them missing anyways. that is
if ANYONE knows this song.) Standard tuning, didnt post the intro
either, figure it out for yourselves, lazy bastards, make me do
everything. Anyways, enjoy, get lots of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert
Johnson or Leadbelly off Napster(ha), Aimster or wherever, you wont be
disapointed if you're a fan of acoustic, especially delta blues.

Thats it. Feel free to post any minute or piddly discrepancies or
e-mail me with them. Ciao Mein.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEFFERSON BLIND LEMON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
