This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch

Track title: It Don't Bother Me

Album: It Don't Bother Me

Tuning: EADGBE

Capo: 3rd Fret

This is another one of Berts easier tunes to pick, the only thing you

have to watch is the left hand fingering, for example the first 2 notes

are fingered with the 2nd and 4th fingers respectively. Experiment with

the rest. Also note the timing - it's in 4/4 but he introduces lines of

the verse with a bar of 2/4. This is the 1st verse tabbed, he makes

structural variations from verse to verse according to the lyrics. Work

with the recording. By the way, if you find the open low E string

strange, play the 3rd fret instead, but Bert definitely does sound the E.

Enjoy :o)

Rhythm = 4/4, 2/4
