"Niel Gow's Apprentice"   by Michael Marra

Transcribed from MM's album "On Stolen Stationery".
At the end of this file, I have included guitar TABs for
two sections of the song: the 4-bar intro between verses and
the fiddle solo during the instrumental verse. The fiddle solo
is played mostly with a half-barre at fret 2, which might seem
strange but it makes it easy to play it in another key, which you
will have to unless you have a gravelly voice like MM.
Chords in the verse are the same as the chorus.
Comments/amendments etc. welcome.
