Doc Watson – Walk On Boy Live tab
Artists:Doc and Richard Watson Album: Three Pickers (Live) Tabbed by: Marcus Ryan Jan.2nd 2006 I'm not much into bluegrass but this one is great. Everything but the solos was taken from a tab by Pancake (whereabouts unknown). On the live album they play with capos on the 2nd fret, and the chords are available on the internet. There are a few other short riffers thrown in the song, but they can be figured out if you can learn these runs. Key of Bmin Chord Shapes used: Bmin A/Bmin F#7 Dmaj Gmaj F#maj E/F#maj F#/Bmin E 2 2 2 2 3 2 2 2 B 3 3 2 3 3 2 2 3 G 4 4 3 2 4 3 3 4 D 4 4 2 0 5 4 4 4 A 2 0 4 x 5 4 4 x E x x 2 x 3 2 0 2Intro - This lead starts of the song, with chords behind.E----------------|-------------------|-----------------------------------|B-/12-12-12-10---|---12-12-10--------|-----------------------------------|G-------------11-|------------11-9-7-|--11-9-7-9-7-----------------------|D----------------|-------------------|-------------9-7-9------7-9--------|A----------------|-------------------|---------------------/9------------|E----------------|-------------------|-----------------------------------|Verse/Chorus ------------ I was born one morning, the rain a pourin' down.
