Baby Please Dont Go Chords & Tabs

by Lightnin' Hopkins

[Content]
A 12 bar blues in E but the first E lasts for however many bars you feel like playing it for :p.
Melody played with index finger only and bass with thumb
The melody is played in triplets so it's worth practicing something like this to get the timing:
