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: Ramblings Gonna be the Death of Me
Album: Bert Jansch
Tuning: DADGBE (drop D)
Capo: 4th Fret
This is from Berts self-titled first album of 1965. It features his classic
trademark picking pattern and is an ideal tune for beginner pickers to learn
as well as being a great song. I've tabbed out the intro and the verse;
that's all there is really but as usual Bert shows slight variation from
verse to verse.
Rhythm: 4/4
