Statesboro Blues Tab

   
I tabbed the first part of this in a previous tab but didn't have time to finish, 
now I'm doing the rest.

Tuning:  Open-E (E, B, G#, E, B, E)
This is the slide part only, the rhythm guitar is just a twelve-bar blues in D

I'm not great at writing the timing in the tab, you'll have to listen to figure

Great song by one of the greatest bands of all time.  Enjoy!
