Boogie Woogie Bugle boy (Diatonic)

This song was written for the Andrews singers and featured in two motion pictures, Buck Privates, and Swingtime Johnny. This tabbing is from sheet music in the key of C. I have not used any bent notes so it is not completely accurate.

You will notice that this is different to Walt's tab as this is always one tab number down from his Chromatic tabs and where he is able to put in the sharps with his slide valve I have left sharps and the flat notes out of course you can rectify this if you wish with your bends and overblows.
