Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Bird Song
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: DADGAD (detuned a semitone on recording)

This is one of Berts best songs, an absolute gem; Bert at his finest. Play it gently. Watch out 
for the rhythm and timing, the bars are of differing lengths and particularly watch for the 
change into 3/8 and then a bar of 7/8. The asterisks indicate the beats; if you're familiar 
with the song it will flow naturally. Here I've tabbed out the instrumental break which 
is basically the same as the verse, although on some verses he misses out the bar of 7/8 and 
adds another bar of 4/4. You should be able to pick out the structure from the record 
easily enough. There are a few fingering changes you could make to suit your fingers best 
if you like. Enjoy! :o)
