None of them
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips ([email protected]) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: Bird Song Album: Rosemary Lane Tuning: DADGAD (detuned a semitone on recording) This is one of Berts best songs, an absolute gem; Bert at his finest. Play it gently. Watch out for the rhythm and timing, the bars are of differing lengths and particularly watch for the change into 3/8 and then a bar of 7/8. The asterisks indicate the beats; if you're familiar with the song it will flow naturally. Here I've tabbed out the instrumental break which is basically the same as the verse, although on some verses he misses out the bar of 7/8 and adds another bar of 4/4. You should be able to pick out the structure from the record easily enough. There are a few fingering changes you could make to suit your fingers best if you like. Enjoy! :o) Rhythm: Various (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 7/8) Intro: Beat:* * * * * * * * D||--------------------------|-----0--------0-----------| A||-----9--------7--0--------|--------------------------| G||--7--------5-----------0--|--2--------2--------2-----| D||--------------------4-----|--0--------0--------0-----| A||--------------------------|--------------------------| D||--------0-----------------|--------0--------0-----0--| Verse: * * * * * * * D--------------0-----------|-----------------------| A--------------------0-----|--------------0h2p0----| G-----0-----2--------------|--------------------0--| D--4-----------------------|-----0-----------------| A--------------------------|--3--------2-----------| D--------0--------0-----0--|--------0--------------| * * * * * * * * * * D-----------------------------|---------------|--------------------------| A-----0--------0--2p0---------|---------------|--------------------------| G--2--------2---------2-0-----|--0------------|--------------0-----------| D--------------------------4--|--2--2---2--0--|-----7-----7--------------| A--0--------------------------|-------0-------|--9-----------------9-----| D--------0--------------------|---------------|--------0--------0-----0--| * * * * * * * * * D------------------0------------------|--------------------------| A--------------3h5----5p3----4h5p4p0--|--------------------------| G-----4-------------------4-----------|--------------0-----2-----| D--0--------0-------------------------|-----7-----0--------4-----| A----------------------------7--------|--9-----------------------| D--------5----------------------------|--------0--------0-----0--| * * * * * * * * D------------------2---------|------------------0---------| A--------------2h4----4p2----|--------------0h2----2p0----| G-----2-------------------2--|-----0-------------------0--| D--2--------2----------------|--0--------0----------------| A--------0-------------------|----------------------------| D----------------------------|--------5-------------------| 3/8 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * D-----------------|-----0-----|-----------|-----0-----|-----------| A--0h-2p0---------|--0--------|-----------|-----------|-----------| G--2------2-0-----|--2--------|-----------|-----------|-----------| D--0-----------4--|-----------|-----5p-4--|--0--------|-----5p-4--| A-----------------|-----------|--3--------|--2--------|-----------| D-----------------|--------0--|-----------|--------0--|--5--------| 7/8 4/4 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * D-----0-----|----------------------------|--------------------------| A-----0-----|----------------------------|--------------------------| G--2--------|--2---4---5---4---2---0-----|-----2--------2-----------| D--0--------|--4p0-5p0-7p0-5p0-4p0-2-----|--0--------0--------0-----| A-----------|-------------------------3--|--------------------------| D--------0--|----------------------------|--------0--------0-----0--| Ending: * * * * * * * * D--------------------------|-----0--------0-----------| A-----9--------7-----------|--0--------0--------0-----| G-/7--------5-----------0--|--2--------2--------2-----| D--------------------7-----|--0--------0--------0-----| A--------------------------|--------------------------| D--------0--------0--------|--------0--------0-----0--| * * * * * * * * D--------------------------|-----0--------0-----------| A-----9--------7-----------|--0--------0--------0-----| G-/7--------5-----------0--|--2--------2--------2-----| D--------------------7-----|--0--------0--------0-----| A--------------------------|--------------------------| D--------0--------0--------|--------0--------0-----0--| * * * * * * * * D--------------------------|-----0--------0-----------| A-----9--------7-----------|--0--------0--------0-----| G-/7--------5-----------0--|--2--------2--------2-----| D--------------------7-----|--0--------0--------0-----| A--------------------------|--------------------------| D--------0--------0--------|--------0--------0-----0--| * * * * * * * * * * * D--------------------------|-----0--------0-----------|-------------------| A-----9--------7-----------|--0--------0--------------|-------------------| G-/7--------5--------0-----|--2--------2--------------|-------------------| D-----------------7-----0--|--0--------0--------0-----|-----0-------------| A--------------------------|--------------------------|--3----------3-----| D--------0-----------------|--------0--------0-----0--|----------0-----0--| * * * * D--------------------------|-------------------|| A--------------------------|-------------------|| G--------------------------|-------------------|| D-----0--------0-----------|--6b7--------------|| A--2--------2-------2p0----|--5----------------|| D--------0--------------0--|--0----------------|| TAB guide: h = hammer on, p = pull off / = slide into from below
