Biography:
J. B. Lenoir /l?n??r/ (Monticello, Mississippi, March 5, 1929 – Urbana, Illinois, April 29, 1967) was an African American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter, active in the 1950s and 1960s Chicago blues scene.
Lenoir's guitar-playing father introduced him to the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, whose music became a major influence. During the early 1940s, Lenoir worked with blues artists Sonny Boy Williamson II and Elmore James in New Orleans. Lenoir would eventually find musical influence in Arthur Crudup and Lightnin' Hopkins.

Song: Slow Down
Tabber: Andrew Biles
This is a really stripped down way to play the song. If you've played a bit of blues
the chord variations (e.g. 0,2,x,x,x,x to 0,4,x,x,x,x) and licks should be relatively easy
to hear fill in.
Standard tuning - Capo 5
(chords indicate shape - E and A are open, without capo they would be A and D respectively)
E
Slow down
B
Slow down
E A
Let me step on board
E
I just wanna ride your train
B
just before I gone
E
You about the sweetest
B
little girl
E A
I believe I ever seen
E
and if I had you by my side
B
you would mean so much to me
E
I'm a stranger
B
I'm a stranger
E A
and I will not be here long
E
if you just let me ride your train
B
I don't think it will be not long
E
slow down
B
slow down
E A
please ma'm let me step on board
E
just let me ride your train
B
just before I gone
