Default Lost John/Lost John Dean

I'm looking for tabs or chords for two songs that have similar names
Lost John, by Etta Baker
Lost John Dean by Kevin Kane

Anyone?

If you mean "Lost John" by Merle Travis (which I love btw), you can purchase a bunch of tab and instructions including Lost John here:

and here's Merle playing it.....

Thanks for the links. The Merle Travis song sounds like an antecedent of Kieran Kane's Lost John Dean, from his album of the same name.

Etta Baker's Lost John (on One Dime Blues) sounds like a different song all together -- I'm looking for chords/tabs for both.

Thanks again.

Can't find the One Dime Blues version, but I could do you a transcription of this version if you want:

Edit: Done. PM me with your email and I'll send a PDF.
