Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch

Track title: Wishing Well

Album: Birthday Blues

Tuning: EADGBE

Capo: 3rd Fret

This is pretty straightforward to play though watch for the timing; there are bars of 2/4, 3/4

and 4/4. The asterisks are a guide to the beats. Notice the repeats on the intro and the first

bar of the verse. As always, listen to the recording if you want to understand the song

structure more clearly; there is an instrumental break which is basically the same as the

verse. Have fun :o)
