THIS SONG WAS FAMOUS IN THE 50's : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisonaires ------------------------------------------ JUST WALKIN' IN THE RAIN - The Prisonaires ------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Kris Ellestad Date: August 19th, 2009 Email: [email protected] Site: knilstad.blogspot.com | ^ brush up | R let ring | . staccato Standard tuning 6/8 time Note that this is a tab of the original version of this song by the Prisonaires, written by Johnny Bragg, and not the one sung by Johnnie Ray. It's also come to my attention that the recording I have of the song differs from a version posted on youtube, so I've taken the liberty of posting the version I listen to on my blog.
