Joe Kirby Blues by John Fahey

John Fahey has a genius for simple beauty and this tune, from his old Takoma LP DAYS HAVE GONE BY, is a prime example. This was tabbed by Dave Cohen ([email protected]) and transcribed by me.

Dave suggests these fingerings (T = thumb, I = index, M = middle, R= ring, L = little, O = open string):

Am in Part A: D7 in Part A: Am in Part B 3 M O 5 I 3 M 3 I 8 L 2 I 5 L O O O 7 M O 5 R O O O O
