Silver Raindrops

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: Silver Raindrops

Album: From the Outside

Tuning: EADGBE

I think this is one of Berts easiest tunes to play technically, and is very

nice on the ears. Here I've tabbed out the intro, a typical verse and the

chorus but there is much minor variation throughout the piece. He strums

parts of the chorus to various degrees; go with whatever you feel like. The

chords are so easy you'll probably end up playing it your own way anyway.

The asterisks show you where the beats lie. Enjoy! :o)
