"Working Man Blues"
by Eli "Paperboy" Reed (Merle Haggard, original writer)
tabbed by: Jim Ferraiolo (jmfguitartabs@gmail.com)
This is a great cover of a Merle Haggard classic, complete with a full horn section.
It does a good job of staying true to the original while still showcasing the
individuality of the artist.
It's in the key of E and has a lot of blues embellishments in the chord playing.
I'll tab out a few of those, but they're a way for you to add your own spice to the
blend.
Use these chord shapes:
E7: 020130
A7: x02023
B7: x24242
G: 355433
A: 577655

This is the verse riff that Eli plays interspersed with the E7 chord stabs in the verse.
You can essentially play this riff any time you see E7.
