Shakey Graves- Bullys Lament (Live at KUTX version)Album - As Per Request
Capo 4
Every time this man plays his songs live they sound radically different, and apparently he even rearranges the
lyrics at his whim. I Fell in love with the live KUTX version so I appropriated the only other guitar tab for
this song and changed up the lyrics but keeping the chord structure. Please, if you have any corrections say
so in the comments and I will update accordingly. I hope this helps. He picks a lot so the strumming pattern
is mostly interpritive to you.
(Taken from comment on the other guitar tab) The lick is on the (B) string, 3, 1 then open, and then (G)
string 2nd fret. (this way sounds much more like Shakeys version, even though shakey does it in Open D tuning)
Poor Lanky Lenny is Emtoo tall to be lost and found
Too Cbig for the cages at the city pound
Oh what will he Gdo?
Yeah what will we do for fun andD for free?
It seems the roads are groEmwing wider and wider most every day
