----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSIPPI BO WEAVIL BLUES - Charley Patton ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: refewz I tabbed this myself and am posting it because there is a serious lack of Charley Patton's guitar work available on this site. He is a true master of the blues! If people like I may post more of his tabs in the future. Tuning: Open G (DGDGBD) *The original recording is in open B, but you're better off putting a capo on fourth fret than trying to tune your guitar up that high. This song should be played with a slide. The notes in parentheses are optional, Charley throws them in a couple times. Bo weavil, bo weavil, where's your native home?
