Buckets of Rain – Bob Dylan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Bob Dylan
From "Blood on the Tracks" (1973)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Most songs on "Blood on the Tracks" use open tunings, Buckets of Rain is
probably no exception. This tab, however, is a playable version for
standard tuning. There are a lot of small variations here and there but I
only tabbed out the main phrases. It is easy enough to create your own
version from there. Enjoy!
