                Buckets of Rain – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

Bob Dylan
Buckets of Rain (1975)
(Dylan)

From "Blood on the Tracks"

Most songs on "Blood on the Tracks" use open tunings, Buckets of Rain is 
probably no exception. This tab, however, is a playable version for 
standard tuning. There are a lot of small variations here and there but I 
only tabbed out the main phrases. It is easy enough to create your own 
version from there. Enjoy!
