Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Poor Man Jeffrey Martin ----------------------------------------------------- 2018 --------- Tabbed by: Mike Lydiat E-mail: mike@docsworkshop.co.uk Tuning: eBGDAE Capo 2 to play along with the original full track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uwpaxTkDrY The VERSE chord pattern is a famliar one - Em G C But the CHORUS embellishment (D9) and the OUTRO run down (G - G/f# -) make it more interesting. The trickiest part is what he is doing with his right hand. He's using a basic 'educated thumb' playing alternate bass note and a middle note for each chord. If you have this technique already then the rest is pretty easy - if not you will need to watch the video carefully and practise what he does. When you listen to the song lots and play along then the pattern will sound easier. NB: the second chord in the OUTRO is really a G/f# (ie simple G with an F# note on the bottom string) But the Automagic checker doesn't like that notation so I've called it a name that passes the test!!

He’s an Emasphalt man G just like his Cdaddy Ten hour Emdays of rolling Gtar buys a double Cwide Down an Emold dirt road G outside the Ccity On the Emedge of a muddy Gcreek and the county Cline

Oh D9Maggie, keep an eye on the Emwater line The car won’t D9start and the money never comes in on Emtime Oh D9Maggie, keep an eye on the Emwater line I feel it Cmoving D9
[Verse 2]
They’ve got a Embaby on the way but his Gwife still feels Cempty Says it’s Emhard to feel pretty when they're Galways counting Cdimes He sits up Emnights in the kitchen in the Gdark when it’s Craining He can’t Emsleep for the sound G pounding in his Cmind
[Chorus]
Oh D9Maggie, keep an eye on the Emwater line The car won’t D9start and the money never comes in on Emtime Oh D9Maggie, keep an eye on the Emwater line I feel it Cmoving D9
