Time Is An Old Friend by Bert Jansch

Tabs

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips ([email protected])

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Time is an Old Friend
Album: From the Outside
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 3rd Fret

This pretty little song is a doddle to play. I've tabbed out the intro - which is the same
as the verse - the second section and the ending. You will find very slight variations from
verse to verse. Enjoy! :o)

Rhythm = 4/4
