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

Subject: TAB: Camp Chase

Greetings

Here's another flatpick arrangement of an old-time fiddle tune - "Camp

Chase." This one was composed by Solly Carpenter, a prisoner at Camp Chase,

a Civil War prison camp near Columbus, Ohio. Supposedly Carpenter won his

release by composing and playing this tune in a prison camp fiddler's

contest.

This is "crooked" tune - the A part is four measures repeated once, and the

B part is 10 measures(!), instead of the usual eight-measure grouping.

This, and a couple of oddly-placed triplets in the B part gives it kind of

a funky, unpredictable feel.

I've tabbed it and indicated the chords in G, but it's generally done in A,

so put your capo at the second fret.

| | | | marks passage of quarter notes.

* is a repeat symbol

__3__

| is a triplet
