Velvet Green - Jethro Tull

Transcribed by John Fahey <goog64@yahoo.com>

CAPO 1st fret - this makes it possible to play the melody in the intro and the breaks

ACTUAL chords written NOT chord shapes!

OK, this song has a million different instruments playing different melodies,

so this is the bit of the melody that I like best.

INTRO - ACTUAL fret numbers - ie '1' means open string.
