Song

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch

Track title: One For Jo

Album: L.A. Turnaround

Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)

Capo: 4th Fret

This is a very pretty little song and the good news is that it's a

doddle to play. I've tabbed the short intro and the 1st verse, the rest

is the same with very minor differences. The rhythm contains bars of

2,4 and 5, but it feels very natural when you know the song. The

asterisks are a guide to the beats in each bar. Enjoy! :o)

Rhythm: 2/4, 4/4, 5/4
