"The Song of the Swamp"  by Leo Kottke
Transcribed from Greenhouse (1972)
Also recorded on the Capital compilation 'The Best'

This slide tune is in open G tuning.  It works on 6 or 12 string.  It is 
essential to listen to the music with the transcription, to hear which notes 
are fretted with a finger and which with the slide, and to catch the rhythm.

In measure 5 the first two notes use finger fretting, for example.

The notation is standard, with 's' meaning slide from note to note, or up or 
down to the note as appropriate.

I think this is a reasonable approximation of the song--please send your 
corrections or suggestions.
