Jack Orion tab by Bert Jansch

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Jack Orion
Album: Jack Orion
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 3rd fret

An absolute classic tune and a great story. It was pretty hard to tab this
because the guitar is quite hard to hear and then you've got Renbourn playing
lead over the top to make it even more elusive. I'm pretty sure this is very
close to what he plays, although you could make a lot of changes with the
fingerings and use of open strings etc. This is the way I play it anyway. This
tab is the intro and then a typical verse. There are slight variations between
verses so experiment and do what you can with the tune like Bert does. Now all
that remains is for you to learn the ten minutes worth of fantastic lyrics! :o)

Rhythm: 4/4
