The Doobie Brothers'"Black Water" (by Patrick Simmons)
Transcription by: Robert Andersen
(robert_andersen@hp-paloalto-om5.om.hp.com)
This is a re-post. A friendly note from Josh (jpincus@baka.com) pointed
out that the correct tuning is "double drop D" (DADGBD). I have changed
the transcription accordingly. Thanks Josh!
NOTE: > = accent this note, h = hammer on, p = pull off, b = bend
