 Subject: TAB: Albatross by Fleetwood Mac 
  
 Hello, 
  
   Just before OLGA hit the rocks with EMI I posted Albatross to you, 
 but unfortunately there was a minor error in the tab. By the time I 
 sent you a correction OLGA had been shut down. So here's my amended 
 version of Albatross. Thanks for all the work you guys do, it's much 
 appreciated. 
  
 Regards, Malc 
  
  
 Albatross by Fleetwood Mac 
  
 Tabbed by Malc Brookes

 Notes: 
 I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago. 
 In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which is in the 
 chord of F#m) as it wasn't possible to keep the original 
 melody and bass. In section C the melody is dropped a whole 
 octave, which allows the F# bass line to be preserved. 
  
 Tuning: 
 Standard, EADGBE. 
  
 Key: 
 h - hammer-on 
 p - pull-off 
 / - slide up 
 \ - slide down
