Me And You And A Dog Named Boo - Lobo
A great song from 1971, fairly simple to play but the funky little interchange
around the 'D' chord gives it that extra bit of interest.
Capo 4th fret
The pattern for each 'D' incorporates Dsus4 and Dsus2 as follows:
Downward stroke = D Upward stroke = U The '-' signifies a pause (8 beats to the
bar or chord sequence, which ever you prefer)
stroke D U D U - U D -
chord D D D Dsus4 - D Dsus2 -
e|-2-2-2-3-------2-0------------|
B|-3-3-3-3-------3-3------------|
G|-2-2-2-2-------2-2------------|
D|-0-0-0-0-------0-0------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|
Repeat this pattern for every 'D' chord in the song. I've written out the pattern
for the first line of the intro. After that, you're on your own!
Capo 4th fret
