Bob Dylan - Buckets Of Rain

[EAEGBE] Tuning : No Capo
Transcribed by  : feargalPR

I have tabbed this out as I was originally taught to play it, I know its not how Dylan 
does it but it is a lot easier to play and
still sounds as great as his. The tuning is EAEGBE
(I dont know what thats called) you just have to tune up the D string to an E.


The Finger picking technique:
Thumb continually plays alternating bass notes whilst fingers play top 3 strings.

And I just want to thank #chris flatly# as I used his version of the song as a template, 
and it made tabbing this out a lot easier!
