I'm Glad
The Black Keys
Rare Ones
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard
Another rare one by the Black Keys, this song is a rendition of the Captain Beefheart
song by the same name from the album Safe as Milk. This tab is a transcription of a live
version of the song performed on the Colin Murray Program on December 8, 2008. The
Colin Murray Program was a BBC radio program, and this performance was done for a
segment of the program called "In The Company of" where Colin would host various
musicians and record live performances.
Here is a link to the audio recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX11SNHnXNE
