Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams Sr.
Key of Cmaj
Tabbed by Mike Benson
Note: I like to strum this song using a swing rhythm and while doing that using my thumb
make a bass line either sol(5) up to do(1) or do(1) down to fa(4) creating this kind of
shuffle. It makes your strumming a little more interesting.
