"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.

Transcription by David Morse  (Morse_DL@Corning.com or Elanii@AOL.com)
