Albatross

Fleetwood Mac
Tab
4.7(228)

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

Sorry, I've since spotted a slight error.

In Section B the following

>E|------------------------|------------------------|
>B|-12\10------------------|-12\10------------------|

>D|------------------------|------------------------|

>E|------------------------|------------------------|

should be

E|------------------------|------------------------|
B|-12\10------------------|-12\10------------------|
G|-13\11------------------|-13\11------------------|  (11 not 10)
D|------------------------|------------------------|

I've had some feedback about this tab, and I'm afraid I made a slight error in

one section. Sometimes it doesn't matter how long you stare at something, a

glaring mistake always seems to slip through. Sorry, here's a corrected version.

Albatros by Fleetwood Mac

Tabbed by Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk)

I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago.

In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which is in the chord of F#m)

as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass.

In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the

F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic

than playing it above the 12th fret.

Regards

Malc

Key:

h - hammer-on

p - pull-off

/ - slide up
