Tuning: E A D G B E

This is for the version on AMTRAK BLUES album. I typed out the entire song because Alberta Hunter has different inflections, and different endings to every Verse. The Instrumental part in the middle is just the chords for the Verse played twice. I think I got everything, if not, drop me a line and I'll do what I can to sort it. And don't forget to RATE the Feckin' bejaysis outta this tab. Thanks flatwound D = XX0232 E = 022100 A = X02220 E7 = 020100 G = 320003 Cm# = X46664 B = X24442 A7 = X02020 DARKTOWN STRUTTERS BALL Cm# = X46664
