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

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)
Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Read All About It
Album: From the Outside
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 1st fret
This is a nice little number and reasonably easy to play; there are various fingering
possibilities you could use as an alternative to some of these, for example the D minor
and A minor riffs in the second section can be played either as barres or in open position
at some points. I'm not a big fan of full barres due to my skinny fingers so I generally
go for the open option when I can! Experiment. This is basically the 1st verse tabbed;
the intro and the other verses are the same material with a few minor variations (which
you'll probably end up doing yourself anyway). Have fun :o)
Rhythm = 4/4
