Joe Kirby Blues
              by John Fahey


John Fahey has a genius for simple beauty and this tune, from his old
Takoma LP DAYS HAVE GONE BY, is a prime example. This was tabbed by
Dave Cohen (user643309@aol.com) and transcribed by me.

Dave suggests these fingerings (T = thumb, I = index, M = middle,
R= ring, L = little, O = open string):

Am in Part A:     D7 in Part A:    Am in Part B
3 M         O          5 I
3 M         3 I         8 L
2 I         5 L         O
O           O          7 M
O           5 R         O
O           O          O
