Pretty Boy Floyd

This is one of Woody Guthrie's most famous songs, which Bob 
Dylan recorded in 1988 for an album called Folkways: A 
Vision Shared (A Tribute to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly).  

Besides Pretty Boy Floyd, the CD has a few other great songs
for acoustic guitar:  Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain't Got No
Home; Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red; and Emmylou Harris 
sings Hobo's Lullaby.

Intro:
Intersperse these notes with strumming.  It's not too 
complicated, but it's harder than it might seem to do it as 
cleanly as Dylan does, at least to me.  The riff in the 
first measure is played twice after each two-line verse.  
Besides that, it's all just energetic strumming.

# 64 BOB DYLAN - Pretty Boy Floyd (1988)
AN ALL ACOUSTIC EVENING OF MUSIC TO BENEFIT THE BRIDGE SCHOOL OAKLAND COLISEUM OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA DECEMBER 4, 1988 Bob Dylan (vocal, guitar) and GE Smith (guitar) PRETTY BOY FLOYD Woody Guthrie Come gather round me children, a story I will tell Of Pretty Boy Floyd, an outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well. It was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon His wife beside him in the wagon as into town they rode. A deputy sheriff approached them in a manner rather rude Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard. Well, Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down. Then he took to the trees and rivers to lead a life of shame Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name. Yes he took to the trees and timbers on the Canadian river shore And the outlaw found a welcome at many a farmer's door. Yes, there's many a starving farmer, the same story told How the outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little home. Others tell about the stranger who came to beg a meal And underneath the napkin left a thousand dollar bill. It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day Came a whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say. Well, you say that I'm an outlaw, and you say that I'm a thief Here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief. Well, as through the world I've rambled, I've seen lots of funny men Some rob you with a sixgun, some with a fountain pen. As through this world you ...
