Avalon Blues Acústico Tab

Title:  Avalon Blues
Artist: Mississippi John Hurt
Author and Copyright: MississippiHans (arr.+tab.)
 
This exact version is taught by Joe Murphy (Many Thanks to Joe!) on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS_iTmHsAiM
Just added high notes on the B7 turnaround.
 
Compared to the MJH's original on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klcDgu2f_pQ
the main lick here is significantly simpler and less tiring, without lacking mood,
as it contains this beautiful "quarter-long hammer-on". Watch Joe's video lesson explaining it.
Hence this version allows for more speed and control, and I recommend it.
 
Historical Note: The "Avalon Blues" stands in the center of the absolutely amazing "MJH story",
as it led to the rediscovery of Mississippi John Hurt.
 
Time:  4/4
Tempo: Q=150, quite fast
Capo:  2
Play bass quarters consequently with your right-hand thumb and insert eighths.
The chord names above the tab lines indicate the left-hand position.

                     Hollerin' from Avalon, could hardly  keep  from       cryin'.
                     Pretty Mamas at Avalon      want me there all the     time.
                     Says   Sweet Daddy,         stay right here  with     me.
                     Pretty Mamas at Avalon      sure will  spend your     change.
                     Goin back to Avalon,        where I have pretty mama all the time.
