Curragh Of Kildare


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.
