interesting enought to post it here.
Johnny played thousands of different way so that's just one of 'em. :)
This is my first tab, and its incomplete for now but I'll update reagularly as soon as I

BOOM BOOM - John Lee Hooker

Tabbed by: Don Cortizone

Tuning: Standard
Note 1: All bars are in 4/4, I think it helps figuring out the rhythm since its alot of
fast notes on different speeds.
