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: Jack Orion
Album: Jack Orion
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 3rd fret
An absolute classic tune and a great story. It was pretty hard to tab this
because the guitar is quite hard to hear and then you've got Renbourn
playing lead over the top to make it even more elusive. I'm pretty sure this
is very close to what he plays, although you could make a lot of changes
with the fingerings and use of open strings etc. This is the way I play it
anyway. This tab is the intro and then a typical verse. There are slight
variations between verses so experiment and do what you can with the tune
like Bert does. Now all that remains is for you to learn the ten minutes
worth of fantastic lyrics! :o)
