4. Poor Boy Shuffle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Bass
The song only has guitar, harmonica and a little bit off drumming. What little bit of
bass is in the song is extremely hard to hear

5. Feelin' Blue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Country Bass
E-mail: aaron.white8@education.nsw.gov.au
Tuning: Standard
The Entire Song is just D so just fiddle with the D blues scale throughout the song
This works pretty well for the songs but just go crazy with the blues scale and get some
of your own funky little riffs into it
