Tuning:

This is the version from WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT cd. As Leadbelly plays this he speeds up slightly all the way through the song, Think of an old steam train starting up and gathering pace, slowly building, but be careful, you don't want to get too fast by the end, pace is everything. The words are right for this version, but if I've missed any glaring mistakes, let me know and I'll sort them out IF YOU .... LIKED ..... USED ..... COPIED ... READ .... GLANCED AT this tab, please take the time to rate it Thanks flatwound COTTON FIELDS
