Artist: The Incredible String Band Track title: First Girl I Loved Album: 5000 Spirits Tuning: CFCFAC (OpenFF) Capo: None Key: v=twelfth fret e=eleventh fret t=tenth fret h=hammer on p=pull off /=slide up to chord My attempt to tab this song represents one run through the song, so it is worth listening closely to the original to find variations. Also some bars may be repeated though I haven't shown it. Try to emulate Williamson's stroking and caressing of the strings, and the relaxed way of strumming which makes it such a tender love song. Also the open tuning allows for bottom (or top) strings to be struck with the effect of making the chords sound richer, so don't be too strict with the shapes I have given.
