Nettie Moore – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bob Dylan
Nettie Moore (2006)
(Bob Dylan)
From: "Modern Times"
I tabbed it out in A shapes here because of the fuller sound. It’s probably
easier to play in G (transpose this tab down -2 steps). In order to match
the key of the original, then use a capo 4th fret.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
capo: 2nd fret
play: A
key: B
