calico jack [ tabs ] Calico Jack Transcription by [email protected] (erik gotborn) Taken from the album "Port Royal". Some riffs are played with muted strings, and I haven’t count how many times they play on every chord in some of them, so you have to listen to the record. I haven’t figured out how to the intro is played, if someone know, please e-mail it to me.
