Another blues tune: Runaround.

in the JJ yahoo group like 3 years ago somebody requested a tab for Runaround. I love the lyrics of this one!

So here's my try in a single sitting:


Key of C, 12 bar blues:
C///C///C///C///
F///F///C///C///
G///F///C///G///

intro and ending both follow the C minor pentatonic box at 8th fret.

intro up to vocals:
-----------------------------9-8'---------------------
----------------------------------8-11-8~-------------
------------------------------------------------------
--10/12-10~10/12-10/12-12~--------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

--------------------11---8----------------------------
-8'-8~--------------8---------------------------------
-------8h9-10-8h9---8----8h9--------------------------
--------------------8--------10/12--------------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

ending (the last couple of notes are maybe not played, but sound right to me):
-11-8-------------------------------------8-----------
------11-8-------------------------------(8)----------
------------10--8H10P8p-------------8----(8)----------
------------------------10-------10---10--------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

simple bass line suggestion (I am no bass player!):
C.........C...........C........C.......
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
-3-1---1--33-1---1----3-1---1--33-1---1---------------
-----3---------3----------3---------3-----------------

F.........F..........C.........C........
------------------------------------------------------
-3-1---1--33-1---1------------------------------------
-----3---------3------3-1---1--33-1---1---------------
--------------------------3---------3-----------------

G.........F..........C............G.....
------------------------------------------------------
-5-3---3--33-1---1----------------55-3-5~-------------
-----5---------3------3-1---1-------------------------
--------------------------3---------------------------

Standard dislaimer and all that! All corrections welcome!!!!!! :)
