Caledonia


Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: Caledonia Album: Crimson Moon Tuning: DADGBE This feelgood song is really easy to play and very enjoyable, too. I've tabbed the first verse but the rest is virtually the same with minor variation. There are a couple of places where it's hard to hear the exact notes he's playing but I'm sure it's pretty accurate - the only part I find strange is in the last B minor shape, where I've tabbed it note for note (I think) but it seems quite awkward to play smoothly and lead into the G position as played. Also, the bass makes me slightly confused as to whether the first note in the verse is a low D or F#. Not to worry - I think once you've got the basic chords down you'll probably pick it to suit you anyway. Great song though! Enjoy :o) Rhythm: 2/4 (all notes are 8th triplets) Intro: 4x Verse: E||---------------------||--------------------|--------------------| B||-----------3---------||-----------3--------|-----------3--------| G||--------2-----2-----*||--------2-----2-----|--------4-----4-----| D||-----0-----------0--*||-----0-----------0--|-----4-----------4--| A||---------------------||--------------------|--2-----------------| D||--0------------------||--0-----------------|--------------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------0--------|-----------3--------|-----------3--------| G--------0-----0-----|--------2-----2-----|--------2-----2-----| D-----0-----------0--|-----0-----------0--|-----0-----------0--| A--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| D--5-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------3--------|--------------------|--------------------| G--------2-----2-----|-----------2--------|--------------------| D-----0-----------0--|--------0-----0-----|--------0-----------| A--------------------|-----4-----------0--|-----5--------5-----| D--0-----------------|--4-----------------|--5--------4-----5--| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------2--------|-----------2--------|-----------3--------| G--------0-----0-----|--------0-----0-----|--------2-----2-----| D-----2-----------2--|-----2-----------2--|-----0-----------0--| A--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--------------------| D--------------------|--------------------|--0-----------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B--------------------|--------------------|-----------0--------| G-----------7--------|-----------0--------|--------------0-----| D--------0-----0-----|--------0-----0-----|--------0--------0--| A-----9-----------0--|-----5--------------|-----2--------------| D-/9-----------------|--5--------------4--|--2-----------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------0-----3--|-----------3--------|--------------------| G--------------0-----|--------2-----2-----|-----------2--------| D--------0-----------|-----0-----------0--|--------0-----0-----| A-----2--------------|--------------------|-----4-----------4--| D--2-----------------|--4-----------------|--4-----------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B--------------------|-----------0--------|-----------0-----3--| G-----------0--------|--------0-----0-----|--------0-----0-----| D--------0-----0-----|-----0-----------0--|-----0--------------| A-----2--------------|--------------------|--------------------| D--2--------------2--|--5-----------------|--5-----------------| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------3-----3--|--------------------|--------------------| G--------2-----2-----|-----------7--------|-----------0--------| D-----0--------------|--------0--------7--|--------0-----0-----| A--------------------|-----9--------7-----|-----5--------------| D--0-----------------|-/9-----------------|--5--------------5--| E--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| B-----------3--------|-----------3--------|-----------3--------| G--------2-----2-----|--------2-----2-----|--------2-----2-----| D-----0-----------0--|-----0--------------|-----0--------------| A--------------------|-----------------4--|-----------------4--| D--0-----------------|--0-----------------|--0-----------------| E--------------------|| B-----------3--------|| G--------2-----2-----|| D-----0-----------0--|| A--------------------|| D--0-----------------|| TAB guide: / = slide up to note from below
