Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
Portland Town As Performed by Ramblin' Jack Elliot on Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uViLJCgXZ-E Tabbed by Monotone This is the tab including the strumming that Ramblin' Jack does. It is based around the C & C7 chord so you should be able to play it by only moving a few fingers. Brush the strummed chords more lightly than the notes on their own.
