FINE TUNING:
The backing track is slightly sharp, to match it more
closely use a chromatic tuner and tune all strings
up by approx. +10 cents above standard pitch.
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
option for a particular chord progression. Just use
the voicings suggested in the text column numbers

This is INCREDIBLE!!!
Thank you very much for such a mind-blowing tab!

You're welcome - it's a shame that the other tab on here is very basic.
I could never have worked this one out by ear, but it;s surprisingly playable.
Not many people seem to know this but Sandy Denny wrote the song, and recorded it with the Strawbs before she was in Fairport Convention.

Great tab - haven't braved this at any folk gatherings yet, but it's coming along... chords sound braw - thanks.
Sandy Denny is the kind of singer that almost makes me want to give up sometimes she's so impeccable and powerful, but then, she was already on TV when she was 15 or 16 I think (!)
