Song:   Poor Johnny
Artist: Robert Cray
Album:  Twenty
Tabbed by: Martin Endara (martinendara@hotmail.com)

This is the way I play it, the chorus it´s a little different
on the record but I think mine sounds better.

The first five notes on the intro you don´t have to play them
if you don´t want to but if you want a richer sound  do it goes
alike with the guitar part on the song.

Have fun!
