Here's how Arlo showed it to me at my studio in NYC many years ago (1980s). I added a spiffy ending just for fun....Jack

Another great story and fine tab. I learned this one by ear and played it many times in college in 1969-70. I still trot it out sometimes. I never know whether my hands will complain or I will forget some of the 20 minutes' worth of verses. The story and humor are unforgettable, however. I very much appreciated it when some posted a copy of the newspaper story here about two young men arrested for dumping trash in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Once you learn this. it can also be used for a bunch of other songs:
-Robert Johnson's - They're Red Hot
-John Hartford's - Boogie
-Bill Boyd's - Can't Tame Wild Women
-Gene Austin & Roy Bergere's - How Come You Do Me Like You Do?
-Pink Anderson's - Bring It On Home
. . . and a bunch of other songs.
The old pop song Jada works too, but has a different bridge.
