Song: County down       Artist: Phil Keaggy     Album: Beyond Nature
Song type: Acoustic Instramental        
Transcribed by: Steve Mezick


!Tuning: DADGAD!


This is a great acoustic song. It sounds cool, and it's fun to play. Phil 
often tunes his guitars a half step down, as with this one.

I'm not sure about the timing changes, so what I have are my best guesses. In 
some instances I wrote '2/2', that is because when I tabed this out, my graph 
paper only had a certain amount of room per measure and I couldn't write that 
small.
