Lyrics: 11:45 before it began to rain
I heard someone say Sonny Boy.
and I know that was my name
(who called ya)
I don't know
I don't know
But I'm trying to get in touch with my baby to find out why
she disappointed me so
I met the greyhound bus
And I met the train
she was on neither one
I want to know what was to blame
I don't know
(you mean she didn't come in)
I don't know
But I'm trying to get in touch with my baby to find out why
she disappointed me so
((-harp break is in the tonic-))
Lyrics: I received a special delivery'em
I received a telegram
Then she called me long distance
she want to know
Just where I am
(for what?)
I don't know
Man I just don't know
But I'm still trying to get in touch with my baby to find out
why she disappointed me so
thats right thats right
Harp Break: quickly slide 4↓ to 5↓ back to 4↓ with
hand & throat tremolo, experiment w/tremolos. back to 5↓ hold,
add tremolo. now go to 4↓ and cut it off quickly & do that three
more times. now play 5↓ 4↓ 4↓ 4↓ 5↓
5↑ 4↓ 3↑ 2↓♭ 1↓ as a single flow,
the three sets of four draw are cut off sharply just as above, add
tremolo on one draw. to end the riff do 3↓♭ w/tremolo then
to 5↓ 5↑ 3↓ 4↓.
Lyrics: I know she should have come be highway
or either come by rail
But she got my
head in my hand
wondering what to call her to feel
(for what?)
I don't know
Man I just don't know
I'm sittin wondering why
my baby disappoint me so.
((-harp break is in the tonic-))

can't be tabbed out. |
