A Dream A Dream A Dream Tab by Bert Jansch Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: A Dream, a Dream, a Dream Album: Rosemary Lane Tuning: EADGBE Capo: 1st Fret This is one of Berts best love songs I think. It's a beautiful melody. The guitar part is pretty east to play but there are a couple of points to watch out for. Firstly, the last note of the 1st measure is played with the bottom of the 1st finger in preparation for the barre in the 2nd measure. If you find it hard to sound the note on the D string with the barre, like me with my skinny fingers, I've provided an alternative fingering at the end. Bert definitely plays it barred though. Also, in the 7th measure you play the note on the high E string with the bottom of the 1st finger, but not barred because you have to leave the 3rd string open. It's pretty easy to get the hang of it though. This is in 4/4 but watch for the odd measure of 2/4 - the asterisks are a guide. :o) Verse: Beat:* * * * * * * * * * E||----------------------2--|-------------|------------------------| B||----------------0--------|-----5p-2----|--3-------------3-------| G||----------0h-2-----------|-------------|----------0-------------| D||-------0-----------0-----|--------2----|-------0-----------0----| A||-------------------------|-------------|------------------------| E||--3----------3-----------|--2----------|--3----------3----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * E--1--------1h-3--1-------|------------------------|-------------------------| B-----1-------------------|--3-------------3-------|-----0-----1-----3-------| G--------1-----------1----|----------0-------------|--2----------------------| D-------------------------|-------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| E--1-----------1----------|--3----------3----------|--2-----------2----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * E-----------1-------------|-------------------------|------------------------| B--4--------------4-------|--1--------0-----1-------|----------------3-------| G-----0-------------------|-----0-------------------|----------0-------------| D--------3-----------3----|--------3-----------3----|-------2-----------2----| A-------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------| E--1-----------1----------|--3-----------3----------|--3----------3----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * E-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| B--3--------3-------------|--3-------------3-------|--3-------------0-----3--| G-----0-----------0-------|----------0-------------|----------0h-2-----------| D--------1-----------1----|-------0-----------0----|-------0-----------0-----| A-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| E--3-----------3----------|--3----------3----------|--3----------3-----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * E-------------|------------------------|-------------------------|-------------| B-----1-------|--0-------------0-------|--0-------------0--------|-------------| G-------------|----------0-------------|----------0h-2-----------|-------------| D-------------|-------0-----------0----|-------0-----------0--3--|-----2-------| A--1-----0----|------------------------|-------------------------|--1-----0----| E-------------|--3----------3----------|--3----------3-----------|-------------| Ending: * * * * * * * * * * * * E------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------| B----------------0-------|----------------0-----1--|----------------1-------| G----------0-------------|----------0h-2-----------|----------0-------------| D-------0-----------0----|-------0-----------0-----|-------3-----------3----| A------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------| E--3----------3----------|--3----------3-----------|--3----------3----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * E-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| B--1--------1-------------|----------3-------------|--3--------3-------------| G-----0-----------0-------|----------------0-------|-----0-----------0-------| D--------3-----------3----|-------2-----------2----|--------2-----------2----| A-------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| E--3-----------3----------|--3----------3----------|--3-----------3----------| * * * * * * * * E-------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------| B--3--------3-------------|--3--------3-------------|--------3-------------| G-----0-----------0-------|-----0-----------0-------|------0---------------| D--------1-----------1----|--------1-----------1----|----0-----------------| A-------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------| E--3-----------3----------|--3-----------3----------|--3-------------------| Alternative fingering for 2nd bar: E------------------|-----0-------|| B------------------|--------2----|| G------------------|-------------|| D------------------|--------2----|| A------------------|-------------|| E------------------|--2----------|| TAB guide: h = hammer on, p = pull off
