JUNGLE LULLABY C.W.STONEKING http://cwstoneking.com/ Listen to the song for strummyness and just run between the root notes here and there to get that jungle blues feel... Lots of jazzy chord voicings in this, so I've done what I can from the record. Also, I think CW sometimes tunes down to Eb, but this is for standard tuning. Chords used.
