"Minstrel From Gault"
                            (Richie Havens)


Album: Resume (The Best of Richie Havens)




Note: I've transcribed the song using standard tuning.
      But Richie uses open D.

For more info on Richie's tuning and  playing style look here-

the same intro chords with 2nd guitar filling in.
