Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Been On The Road (So Long)
Album: It Don't Bother Me
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 3rd fret

This is probably going to be a whole lot easier to for you to play than it was to tab out; 
the rhythm in places is extremely tricky to get to grips with in transcription. The lengths 
of bars vary greatly; however the main theme is 6/8. The asterisks tell you where the beats 
lie and how many there are. You'll *definitely* have to work with the recording to get this 
down! I think I went a little mad transcribing this tune. Anyway, the tab goes all the way 
up to the 2nd time he starts singing. By this point you should have the general idea. Have 
fun - it's a fantastic song! ;o)


 Rhythm: 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8
