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

Blue Rondo A La Turk

Dave Brubeck

tab by Doug Ahern, ahern@harpo.dev.uga.edu

It was pointed out to me that in my first posting of this song,

the tab notation was confusing. Where the first line looked like:

|--1--2--1--2--1--2--3--|. This is the 9/8 time broken down, I don't

know how it would sound if played on some string (I'll have to try it

out though :-) ). To remedy, I've taken out the dashes.

first part:

9/8 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 count

   E |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   B |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   G |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   D |-4-----4-----4--0-----------|-4-----4-----4--0--5--4--2--|
   A |----5-----5--------4--5--7--|----5-----5-----------------|
   E |----------------------------|----------------------------|

9/8 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 . 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 count

   E |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   B |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   G |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   D |-4-----4-----4--0-----------|-------4-----4--5-----5--7--|
   A |----5-----5--------4--5--7--|-5--7-----7--------7--------|
   E |----------------------------|----------------------------|

second part:

9/8 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3

   E |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   B |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   G |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   D |----------------------------|----------------------------|
   A |----4-----4-----4-----------|----4-----4-----4-----4--5--|
   E |-------------------7--5--4--|-------------------7--------|

9/8 . 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

   E |----------------------------|
   B |----------------------------|
   G |----------------------------|
   D |----------------------------|
   A |-4--------------------------|
   E |----7--5--7--5--4--5--4--2--|

Peace,
