BLIND BLAKE - POLICEDOG BLUES
_____________________________
This is Blake's only song in open E tuning (that I know of)
Ry Cooder does a faithful rendition on his eponymous first album, and
Jorma Kaukonen does good versions on "Splashdown" and "Quah". Cephas
and Wiggins do an interesting interpretation on "Guitar Man" and
Stephan Grossman has a few versions out.
Open E tuning: EBEG#BE (open D also works)
These are the main chords:
