Moonshine Tab by Bert Jansch


Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Moonshine
Album: Moonshine
Tuning: EADGBE

This is one of my favourite Bert Jansch songs. On the recording it has a beautiful
arrangement added by Tony Visconti with wind instruments and cello, but it works just 
as well with just vocals and guitar. I've tabbed a typical verse and the instrumental
break in the middle, but you will find small varaitions from verse to verse. As for 
fingering, there are many alternatives possible if you don't like the way I've fingered 
it - I tried to work out how Bert played it the best I could though. As ever, I may well 
be wrong in places! Great tune. Enjoy :o)

Rhythm 3/4 (but watch for bars of 2/4 and 4/4)
