BUCKETS OF RAIN (by Bob Dylan; performed by Wendy Bucklew) E|----------------------------------------------------------| [This is from the Bob Dylan tribute album put out by Altlanta-area musicians a few years back. It's actually in F#, with a capo at the 4th fret, tuned DGDF#AD. It sounds fairly similar to Dylan's version.] TAB: D(9) D D(9) D D(9) D D(9) D E|--2---4---------|--2=0-----------|--2---4---------|--2=0-----------| B|--0---0---0---0-|------0-------0-|--0---0---0---0-|------0-------0-| G|------------0---|----------0-----|------------0---|----------0-----| D|----------------|------------0---|----------------|------------0---| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D 0---------------|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
