Gerry Rafferty
album: City to City 1978
song: The Ark
Transcribed by Brett Stengs

NOTE: during the chorus, there are some transition notes between chords (such as 
bass notes), as well as some fills during the latter verses.

Intro (fiddle transcribed for guitar) may sound differently because in the song, this is 
played by Gerry's acoustic guitar.
