Jansch Bert - Curragh Of Kildare guitar tab

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch

Track title: Curragh of Kildare

Album: Live at the 12 Bar

Tuning: EADGBE

This is transcribed from the live version, he also recorded it in 1977 on "A Rare Conundrum" although I don't have (and can't find!) that album. It's another genius Jansch combination of guitar and vocal and the great thing is that it's a breeze to play. I have tabbed it as intro, verse and ending as that's the only parts to the song. He plays an instrumental break which is just the same pattern repeated.

Rhythm: 4/4
