Tabs
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips ([email protected])
Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Curragh of Kildare
Album: Live at the 12 Bar
Tuning: EADGBE
This is transcribed from the live version, he also recorded it in 1977 on
"A Rare Conundrum" although I don't have (and can't find!) that album.
It's another genius Jansch combination of guitar and vocal and the great
thing is that it's a breeze to play. I have tabbed it as intro, verse and
ending as that's the only parts to the song. He plays an instrumental
break which is just the same pattern repeated.
Rhythm: 4/4
