--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buckets of Rain – Bob Dylan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Bob Dylan Buckets of Rain (1975) (Dylan) From "Blood on the Tracks" Most songs on "Blood on the Tracks" use open tunings, Buckets of Rain is probably no exception. This tab, however, is a playable version for standard tuning. There are a lot of small variations here and there but I only tabbed out the main phrases. It is easy enough to create your own version from there. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO / SOLO PARTS E 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
