Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Pretty Polly
Album: Jack Orion
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 1st fret

Berts take on the classic murder ballad is full of energy and utilizes the classic alternating
bass pattern. Like Jack Orion, the guitar part is hard to catch in places as the vocals and
Renbourns lead drown it out, but I'm pretty sure this is what he is playing. Fingerings can be
changed in places to suit your fingers. This is a typical verse; it will vary slightly
throughout the song, so play it freely. The intro is just the first two bars repeated. :o)

Rhythm = 4/4
