Hi, does anyone know where to get decent chords/tabs to Leadbelly tunes? like all them cool runs he does all over the show, instead of just the basic chords?; thanks; Jawbone

There is a book of Leadbelly tunes including lyrics, tab, and notes. Try The Leadbelly Page for more details.

I have the book and it is good.

There was another book by Pete Seeger, written many years ago, something like 'The Twelve String Guitar as played by Leadbelly' which has what you are after. My favourite indecent Leadbelly line is "She's a heavy hipped Mamma, she got them great big legs"

"Walks like she's walkin' on soft boiled eggs".

Jawbone. I love those nifty runs so much I can't tell you. Most of them you'll just have to grab by ear. It's tricky, but it can be done.

The song that those lines come from is called "Noted Rider".

And the actual lines are: "She's a heavy hipted woman,Got great big legs, She walks jus' like she walkin on a-softboiled eggs."
She was a no good rider,
Ooooohhh, she ain't no good;
You got drunk this mornin'
Woke up the neighborhood."
