This is a tab for Charley Pattons' 'Tom Rushen Blues'.
This version is for standard tuning and without a slide. I'm going to post another tab which will be the
original version. I made this version so that if anyone wished to play the song without having to detune/ if
they didn't have a slide on them.
Hope you enjoy. Please comment if you think any of it doesn't sound correct. The chord shapes are A and D
barre chords.
