Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)
Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Curragh of Kildare
Album: Live at the 12 Bar
Tuning: EADGBE
This is transcribed from the live version, he also recorded it in 1977 on "A Rare Conundrum"
although I don't have (and can't find!) that album. It's another genius Jansch combination
of guitar and vocal and the great thing is that it's a breeze to play. I have tabbed it as intro,
verse and ending as that's the only parts to the song. He plays an instrumental break which is
just the same pattern repeated.
Rhythm: 4/4
