Joe Kirby Blues
by John Fahey
John Fahey has a genius for simple beauty and this tune, from his old
Takoma LP DAYS HAVE GONE BY, is a prime example. This was tabbed by
Dave Cohen (user643309@aol.com) and transcribed by me.
Dave suggests these fingerings (T = thumb, I = index, M = middle,
R= ring, L = little, O = open string):
Am in Part A: D7 in Part A: Am in Part B
3 M O 5 I
3 M 3 I 8 L
2 I 5 L O
O O 7 M
O 5 R O
O O O
