Dueling Banjos (tab)

Last month I put a nice play of this song. Here it is the tab I found and I paste it as I found it.

Have fun!


This song (originally called "Feuding Banjos")
was made popular by the movie Deliverance.
It consists of two banjos (one playing high and one
playing low). Basically, the low banjo plays the
notes first, and the high banjo repeats the same
notes an octave higher. This would be fun
for two harmonica players to try. Listen to the
midi if you're not familiar with it.
LB = low banjo (a guitar was used in the movie)
HB = high banjo

LB: -2 -2 -2 -3'' -3 +4 -4 +4 -3
HB: +6 +6 +6 -6 -7 +7 -8 +7 -7

LB: -2 -2 -2 -3'' -3 +4 -4 +4 -3

[this is the popular part everybody
associates with the movie]:
LB: -3 +4 -4 -3 +4 -3'' -3 -2 -3''

HB: -4 +6 +6 -6 -7 +6 +6 -6 -7
_______________________________________________
[the next part is some incredibly quick
playing; personally, I'd stop playing here,
but I tried to tab the rest of the song; I
believe a fair amount of this is actually
played by just the HB while the LB actually
plays either chords or repeats the first 2 lines
below; I tried to tab it by high and low lines]:

No woman, no cry

Another Bob Marley song...

+7 -7 +7 -7 -6 +8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry;

+7 -7 -8 +7 -6 +8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry.

+7 +7 +8 +8 +9 +9 +8 +8 +8 +8 +7 -6
Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit

+8 +8 +8 +8 -8 +8 -7 -8 +7
In the government yard in trenchtown,

+8+8 +8 +8 +9 +8 -9 +9 +8 +7
O-ba - ob-a-serv-ing the hy-po-crites

+6 +7 -8 +8 +8 +8 +8 +8 -9 +8 -8 +7
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.

+8 +9 +9 +9 +8 +7 +9 +9 +8 +7 -6
Good friends we ha--d, oh, good friends weve los-t

+8 -8 +7 +8
Along the wa----y.

+8 +9 +9 +9 +8 -9 +9 +8 +9 +8 +7
In this great future, you cant forget your past;

+8 -8 +8 -9 +8 -7 +7
So dry your tears, I say.

+7 -7 +7 -7 -6 +8 -9 +8 -9 +7
No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry.

+8 +8 +8 -8 -7 +7 +7 +7 -6
ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:

+8 -9 +8 -9 +7
No, woman, no cry.

+7 +7 +8 +8 +9 +9 +8 +8 +8 +8 +7 +7 -6
Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit

+8 +8 +8 +8 -8 +8 -7 -8 +7
In the government yard in trenchtown.

+8 +8 +8 +9 +8 +9 +8 +9 +8 +7
And then georgie would make the fi-re light,

+6 +7 -8 +8 +8 -9 -9 -9 +8 -8 +7
As it was logwood burnin through the night

+8 +8 +9 +9 +8 -10 +9 +8
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,

+7 +8 +7 -8 +7 +8 +7
Of which Ill share with you; Ooh!!

+8 +9 +8 -9 +8+8 +9 -9
My feet is my only carriage,

+8 -8 +8 +9 +8 +8 +7
So Ive got to push on through.

+6 +7 -8 +8 +7 -8
But while Im gone, I mean:

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 +7 +7
everythings gonna be all right-a!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 +7 +7
Everythings gonna be all right, now!

+7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +7 +7 -3
Everythings gonna be all right!

+8 -9 +8 -8 +7
So, woman, no cry;

-9 -10 +9 +8 +8 -9 +8 +8 +7
No - no, woman no woman, no cry.

+8 +8 +8 +8 -7 -7 +7 -6 +7 +7
Woman, little sister, dont shed no tears;

+8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry.

(LEAD BREAK)

+8 +9 +9 +8 +8 +8 +8 +7 +7 -6
I remember when-a we used to sit

+8 +8 +8 +8 -8 +8 -7 -8 +7
In the government yard in trenchtown.

+8 +8 +8 +9 +8 +9 +8 +9 +8 +7
And then georgie would make the fi-re light,

+6 +7 -8 +8 +8 -9 -9 -9 +8 -8 +7
As it was logwood burnin through the night

+8 +8 +9 +9 +8 -10 +9 +8
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,

+7 +8 +7 -8 +7 +8 +7
Of which Ill share with you; Ooh!!

+8 +9 +8 -9 +8+8 +9 -9
My feet is my only carriage,

+8 -8 +8 +9 +8 +8 +7
So Ive got to push on through.

+6 +7 -8 +8
But while Im gone,

+7 -7 +7 -7 -6 +8 -9 +8 -9 +7
No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry.

-7 -8 -9 -9 +8 -8 +7 -6 +7 +7
Woman, little darlin,dont shed no tears;

+8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry.

+8 +8 +8 -8 -7 +7 +7 +7 -6
Eh! little darlin, dont shed no tears!

+8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry.

+8 +8 -7 -7 +7 -6 +7 +7
Little sister, dont shed no tears!

+8 -9 +8 -8 +7
No, woman, no cry
