Go Down Moses Tab

by Martin Simpson




An old American gospel tune from 'A Closer Walk With Thee', where Simpson
should be available at OLGA, otherwise feel free to mail me and I'll let
you have a copy). They do make a nice pairing.

It's a fairly straightforward piece, but take care not to let any open
strings other than the Ds ring during the slides in measures 5, 9 and 17.
