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

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Time is an Old Friend

This pretty little song is a doddle to play. I've tabbed out the intro - which is the
same as the verse - the second section and the ending. You will find very slight
variations from verse to verse. Enjoy! :o)
