I've seen a lot of bad tabs of this song so I tried to find it by ear myself and I got to

interesting enough to post it here.

Johnny played thousands of different way so that's just one of 'em. :)

This is my first tab, and it's incomplete for now but I'll update regularly as soon as I

out another part of the tune.

BOOM BOOM - John Lee Hooker

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Don Cortizone

Tuning: Standard

Note 1: All bars are in 4/4, I think it helps figuring out the rhythm since its a lot of

fast notes on different speeds.
