Kembas Got The Cabbage Moth Blues Chords & Tabs
Kembas Got The Cabbage Moth Blues Chords
Cary Ann is a madwoman on the guitar, so this tune can be hard to keep up with. I suggest watching
a video of them playing to help with the timing and to see what she's doing with the bass notes
(it's a lot of hopping between C and G). The chords should be good though.
