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

Song

Artist: Tim Buckley

Song: Down on the Borderline

Album: Starsailor

Tabber: Daniel "HanMeGitarren" Widegren

This is the last track on Starsailor, and just like the majority of the songs on

starsailor, the guitar is based on a riff and then improvises around it.

The song is basicly a trumpet solo in the beginning and then this riff kicks

in and is played througout the song.

E|----------------------------|
B|----------------9--11---11--|
G|----8-10p8h10---8--10---10--|
D|-10-------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|

The main riff has many variations but these are

played numerous times.

E|---------------------------|
B|----------------9--11---11-|
G|----8-10-12\10--8--10---10-|
D|-10------------------------|
A|---------------------------|

E|---------------------------|
B|----------------9--11---11-|
G|----8-10-10-----8--10---10-|
D|-10------------------------|

That's it, really simple song, fun to play along to, you can practise your

improvisation real good.
