Running From Home - Bert Jansch

I think this is near enough 100% correct. I've been through it many times to make sure
it's right.

As for technique, Bert holds down the 6th string on the first fret with his fretting
thumb throughout the song. I do this too.
I play the 6th & 4th strings with the thumb in an alternating bass style while the
fingers play the melody notes on strings 1, 2 & 3.
The letters under the bars in the intro section indicate what digits i use to play the
notes in the tab above.
p = thumb, i = 1st finger, m = 2nd finger & a = 3rd finger.

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 4th fret
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
