Write Me A Few Of Your Lines by Mississippi Fred McDowell
Write Me A Few Of Your Lines
Tuning: D G D G B D
Capo: 1st fret
Tuning: Open G#
Capo: 1st (D# G# D# G# C d#)
Throw a capo on the first fret or just tune up half a step from Open G. This
is a tab of a live version. The recorded version(s) are the same but they're
just in normal Open G (DGDGBD). I only tabbed up to the solo. The song is
basically the same thing over and over again.
Key:
where # represents a fret number
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
=== - under boxes, represents the use of a guitar slide.
* - time keeper. if you played a steady
baseline, you'd see the notes are
displayed in the tab in the correct
chronological order.

Verse 3:
I'm gonna call up shinin
I might see my baby over there
Lord I'm gonna call up shinin
I might see my baby over there
I have a letter this morning said she
Musta been either over somewhere <--(not sure about this one)
Lord, when you get home, baby
Please write me a few of yo' lines
Lord, when you get home, baby
Sit down and write me a few of yo' lines
Lord, that-a be consolation
Oh Lord, mama to my worryin' mind
Lord, I left my baby
Standin' in her back door, cryin'
Lord, I left my baby
Standin', Lord, in her back door, cryin'
Lord, I never felt so sorry, Lo'd
Honey, till she said goodbye
Lord, I'm goin' down to the river
I'm 'on sit down on the ground
You know I'm goin' down to the river, baby
I'm 'on sit down on the ground
I'm 'onna let the waves of water
Lord, be to wash my trouble down
