Green Green Rocky Road Tab

This version is off the compilation: Two Sides of Dave Van Ronk.  I didn't tab every nuance
of Dave's performance, but the majority of the tones are there.  The key is to keep the
bass strong and consistent and try to play along with the song to get all of the melody notes.  Have fun!

Update: 11/15/2015
- Some have commented that the Capo should be at 4, but I just checked with the recording from "Two Sides of
Dave Van Ronk" and verified it should be at 5.  I think Dave even plays it slightly out-of-tune on the
recording
- Made a few corrections to the original tab.
 
Update: 12/09/2016
- Added accurate lyrics to his version off of 'Two Sides of Dave Van Ronk'
 
Capo 5 - Drop D

When I go by Baltimore
Need no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me
We'll go down to Galilee
 
[Chorus]
Green, green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who ya'll love
Tell me who ya'll love
 
Little Miss Jane run to the wall
Don't you stumble, don't you fall
Don't you sing, no don't you shout
Well when I sing come runnin' out
 
Green, green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who ya'll love
Tell me who ya'll love
 
See that crow up in the sky
He don't walk, no he just fly
He don't walk, no he don't run
Keep on flappin' to the sun
 
Green, green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who ya'll love
Tell me who ya'll love
 
[Instrumental]
 
[Verse reprise]
When I go by Baltimore
Need no carpet on my floor
Come along and follow me
There's a man in Galilee
 
Green, green rocky road
Promenade in green
Tell me who ya'll love
Tell me who ya'll love
