Pretty Boy Floyd
This is one of Woody Guthrie s most famous songs, which Bob
Dylan recorded in 1988 for an album called Folkways: A
Vision Shared (A Tribute to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly).
Besides Pretty Boy Floyd, the CD has a few other great songs
for acoustic guitar: Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain t Got No
Home; Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red; and Emmylou Harris
sings Hobo s Lullaby.
Intro:
Intersperse these notes with strumming. It s not too
complicated, but it s harder than it might seem to do it as
cleanly as Dylan does, at least to me. The riff in the
first measure is played twice after each two-line verse.
Besides that, it s all just energetic strumming.
