xTabbed by Jamie Phillips ([email protected]) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: Pretty Polly Album: Jack Orion Tuning: DADGAD Capo: 1st fret Berts take on the classic murder ballad is full of energy and utilizes the classic alternating bass pattern. Like Jack Orion, the guitar part is hard to catch in places as the vocals and Renbourns lead drown it out, but I'm pretty sure this is what he is playing. Fingerings can be changed in places to suit your fingers. This is a typical verse; it will vary slightly throughout the song, so play it freely. The intro is just the first two bars repeated. :o) Rhythm = 4/4 Beat:* * * * * * * * D||--------0--5-------------|--0----------------------| A||--8--------------8--5----|-----3-----3-----5-------| G||-----7-------------------|--------5----------------| D||--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A||-------------------------|-------------------------| D||--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------| * * * * * * * * D--------0--5-------------|--0--------0-------------| A--8--------------8--5----|-----3-----------3-------| G-----7-------------------|--------5-----------5----| D--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A-------------------------|-------------------------| D--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------| * * * * * * * * D--7--------7-----10-------|--7-----------------------| A-----0--------------------|-----0-----10-----8-------| G--------------------------|------------------7-------| D--------0------------0----|--------0------------0----| A--------------------------|--------------------------| D--0-----------0-----------|--0------------0----------| * * * * * * * * D--7--------7-----10-------|--7-----------------------| A-----0--------------------|-----0-----10-----8-------| G--------------------------|--------------------------| D--------0------------0----|--------0------------0----| A--------------------------|--------------------------| D--0-----------0-----------|--0------------0----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * D--7--------7-------------|--7--------5-----3-------|--0--------------0-------| A-----0-----------0-------|-----0-------------------|-----3-----3-------------| G-------------------------|-------------------------|--------5----------------| D--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| D--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------| * * * * * * * * * * * * D--------0--5-------------|--0----------------------|--------0--5-------------| A--8--------------8--5----|-----3-----3-----5-------|--8--------------8--5----| G-----7-------------------|--------5----------------|-----7-------------------| D--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| D--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------| * * * * * * * * D--0----------------------|--------0--5-------------| A-----3-----3-----5-------|--8--------------8--5----| G--------5----------------|-----7-------------------| D--------0-----------0----|--------0-----------0----| A-------------------------|-------------------------| D--0-----------0----------|--0-----------0----------| * * * * D--0----------------------|| A-----3-----3-----5-------|| G--------5----------------|| D--------0-----------0----|| A-------------------------|| D--0-----------0----------|| TAB guide: / = slide into from below \ = slide down to from above
