Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: The Bright New Year
Album: Birthday Blues
Tuning: EADGBE

A really nice little ditty this one and easy to play, too. There are actually many ways to 
finger this, I tabbed it as it sounds played to me on the recording. But experiment with the 
fingers and frets used. It is also possible to play it barred at the 5th fret, and if you find 
the stretch from the low G to the high B difficult, you can actually play this tune with a capo 
at the 5th fret if you drop the low E to a D. The rhythm is basically 4/4 with a swing 8th 
feel. Watch for the bar of 3 in the intro though. The asterisks are a guide.
