Rogers Stan - Dark Eyed Molly guitar tab

Dark Eyed Molly 3/4 Stan Roger Archie Fisher

Standard Tuning / Submitted by Ken Lee kandvlee@shaw.ca

Intro: Three bars E Arpeggio (base e then (b f Ab b e b e @ 3))

Finger an E chord and play bottom 5 strings repeating 5/6

Played as Intro and at end of every line. Phrasing very tricky, drawn out and sped up,

I have tried

to transcribe accurately but not 100%. Close enough for Government work.
