Title: See See Rider
Artist: Mississippi John Hurt
Author and Copyright: MississippiHans (arr.+tab.)
Tempo: Q=130
Play bass quarters with your right-hand thumb and insert melody/harmony notes.
All beats between the bass quarters are eighths.
The syncopations with anticipated chord changes create a distinctive drive.
The chord names above the tab lines indicate the left-hand position.
A-long means the A chord barred 2nd fret on strings 1-4 and your pinkie on the 1st string 5th fret.
I sing this version with the popular Chuck Willis lyrics, here below the tab lines
to show the timing. The original MJH lyrics are in the section below.

[MJH-Lyrics]
You see see rider, you see what you have done.
Yeah, you made me love you, made me love you,
you made me love you, now your man has come.
If I had a listened to my second mind, Lord,
I wouldn't be sitting here, wringin' my hands and crying.
I wouldn't be sitting here, wringin' my hands and crying.
I wouldn't be sitting here, wringin' my hands and crying.
It ain't no more potatoes, frost have killed the vine.
The Blues ain't nothing, good woman on your mind.
Blues ain't nothing, but good woman on your mind.
The Blues ain't nothing, but good woman on your mind.
I've told you, baby, your mama told you too,
You're three times seven, you know what you wanna do.
