Tab by Bo Parker

Here's "Booth Shot Lincoln," in an arrangement based on the version in in the Phillips Collection of American Fiddle Tunes, vol 2. This is kind of a weird, crooked version, and is pretty much as I played it on PLECTROLOGY vol 2. The version on the tape is capoed at 2.

Measures 4 and 12 are in 2/4, and measures 7 and 16 are in 3/4.
