Black Keys - Nobody But You Chords & Tabs

Song: Nobody But You
Artist: The Black Keys
Album: Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough
Tuning: standard
Tabbed by: Adam bastogne@wp.pl


Hey, that’s my firs transcripton, so it might have mistakes, but for me it sounds accurate (with some exceptions).
The song is played in A minor pentatonic in 1st position (the only piece of scale that I know so far).
There are loads of improvisation, so I think there’s no point in putting every single variation on a paper.
I love this song and I hope you’ll like it too. So sad that I couldn’t get the original track by JK, but I think the Keys’ cover is awesome too.
Any corrections or comments are welcome, mail me: bastogne@wp.pl
