Guitar Tab

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Walk Quietly By (Live version)
Album: Live at the 12 Bar
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 2nd fret

This was originally on "When The Circus Comes To Town" but I haven't got it
yet so I tabbed the live version. When I get that album I'll tab this again
if it's different enough. It's a really beautiful song and the simple guitar
part really comes alive with the vocals. Strangely enough, I find this one
tricky to sing and play at the same time; can't think why. Anyway, I've
tabbed the intro, verse, chorus and middle section; there's an instrumental
break which is just the chorus really. Everything you need is here - it's
in 2/4; use the asterisks as a guide. Amazing song! :o)
