Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)
Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Nottamun Town
Album: Jack Orion
Tuning: DADGBE (dropped D)
This fantastic tune is based around a drop D alternating bass pattern and is
fairly easy to play. I've tabbed out the intro and the first verse but you will
find variations in the other verses; he shortens and lengthens here and there
according to what he is singing but everything you need is here. The instrumental
is basically the same. I've tabbed it as a fast 4/4. Have fun! :o)
Rhythm: 4/4
