---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Snake Moan - Samuel L. Jackson ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Joel Gonzalez Email: w4gon@embarqmail.com My first tab attempt and since this song was the one which inspired me to start playing blues guitar, it's fitting. I watched the movie to get the correct finger positions so it's very close. Use a slide and palm mute where it says "muted". Through "louder" slowly increase volume until "full" volume. Tuning: Open D minor (DADFAD) I aint played for nobody in years d|--3/5---0-----------------------------0----------------------------------| A|----------0------------------------0-------------------------------------| F|-------------0------------------0----------------------------------------| D|-------------------0---------0-------------------------------------------| A|----------------0--------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------0--------------------------------------------------| Wanted me some kids!
