Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Album: Jack Orion
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: Optional

This is a fantastic Jansch arrangement of Ewan Mcolls classic song which has been covered 
by many artists. It is purely instrumental although Bert went on to record it with vocals 
and a band on "Moonshine". I think this version is better though. You will definitely need 
to work alongside the recording on this track as the timing and feel can be quite tricky to 
get from the tab alone; the bars are of various lengths although it sounds really natural 
and flowing when played. The number of beats in the bars are 5,4,4,4,5,4,4,6,4,4. The 
asterisks represent the beats.
