Jolene En vivo Tab

Open D Tuning [DADF#Ad]
 
I've done my best to tab out the notes that are played in this version of the song, but I strongly
recommend you listen to the live version of this song to get a feeling for the groove. Much of the time the
artist will chug a few strings at a time and only single pick the 3rd and 4th string on his way back up.
 
The tablature below aims to capture the key notes played, or the chords, not 100% recreate the song.
