Artist: Otis Redding Song: Dock Of the Bay Tabbed by: John Leadman The chords are correct although they might not be in the right positions. It's really hard to hear the rhythm guitar in this song. These chord positions are just the ones I like to use. I haven't tabbed the lead guitar fills, which I think are played by Steve Cropper. For those of you who don't know Steve Cropper, he played in the Blues Brothers movie and is a great guitar player. And this is a great song.
