Dylan Bob - Pretty Boy Floyd guitar tab

Pretty Boy Floyd

This is one of Woody Guthrie's most famous songs, which Bob

Dylan recorded in 1988 for an album called Folkways: A

Vision Shared (A Tribute to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly).

Besides Pretty Boy Floyd, the CD has a few other great songs

for acoustic guitar: Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain't Got No

Home; Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red; and Emmylou Harris

sings Hobo's Lullaby.

Intro:

Intersperse these notes with strumming. It's not too

complicated, but it's harder than it might seem to do it as

cleanly as Dylan does, at least to me. The riff in the

first measure is played twice after each two-line verse.

Besides that, it's all just energetic strumming.
