Paper Houses by Bert Jansch

Tabs

Paper Houses
by Bert Jansch
From the album 'Toy Balloon'
Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
Capo 2nd fret   h = hammer-on   p = pull-off
Each bar of tab should count 4 beats; knowing me it
probably doesn't, but the piece is easy to pick up
anyway so it shouldn't really matter. This is a really
simple tune and allows for variation and extra notes,
so don't be constrained by my tab. Cheers!
