Summer Heat Tab by Bert Jansch


Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Summer Heat
Album: Live at the 12 Bar
Tuning: DADGBE (dropped D)

I've tabbed the live version of this as I don't have any other version. I don't even know
which of his albums it's on! It's a really great tune though and simple to play. Although
this tab looks long it's really just 3 basic sections that have slight variations
throughout; I thought it reasonable to try and convey these variations. As usual work
with the recording to get the song structure down. Enjoy!

Rhythm: 4/4
