John Butler Trio - Nowhere Man Tabs

Nowhere man
John Butler Trio


Seen a few versions of this about & none of them are quiet right so thought
id have a crack at a cleaner version as this little tune is not in the
official book...

There is a banjo accompanying on the album version following the main riff,
harmonics etc if i buy a banjo one day ill tab that out too...   


Tuning: Half step down (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb)

Intro:                                 Main Riff:

applied with the fretted fingers on the down stroke and muted on the
upstroke. U can also hear 0 2 0 as he ceases muting altogether on the G
string...
