Song

Running From Home - Bert Jansch

To play this i hold down the 6th string on the first fret with my thumb throughout

the song.

I play the 6th and 4th strings with my other thumb in an alternating bass style while

playing the melody notes with my fingers on strings 1, 2 and 3.

The letters under the tab in the intro section below indicate what fingers (or thumb)

to use to play the notes above them.

p = thumb, i = 1st finger, m = 2nd finger, a = 3rd finger.

Tuning: Standard

Capo: 4th fret
