                           MULE SKINNER BLUES - Jerry Reed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Alex Miller
 
Tuning: Standard
 
Seeing as nobody's tabbed this amazing version of this song I have tried my best to get
bits I can understand down.
 
Intro: (b means slight quarter bend)
 
e|-------------|--------------------|---------------|----------------------|
B|-------------|--------------------|---------------|----------------------|
G|-------------|--------------------|----------5b-2-|-------------------5b2|
D|-------------|--------------------|----0h2h5------|--------------0h2h5---|
A|--0--0--0--0-|-0--0--0--------5-3b|-0-------------|------5-3b--0---------|
E|--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--0h3h5-----|---------------|0h3h5-----------------|
 
  Let Ring..............
 
After this it gets near impossible to understand as there are two guitars and Jerry Reed
Chet Atkins have very complex styles of playing.
