It Dont Bother Me by Bert Jansch Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: It Don't Bother Me Album: It Don't Bother Me Tuning: EADGBE Capo: 3rd Fret This is another one of Berts easier tunes to pick, the only thing you have to watch is the left hand fingering, for example the first 2 notes are fingered with the 2nd and 4th fingers respectively. Experiment with the rest. Also note the timing - it's in 4/4 but he introduces lines of the verse with a bar of 2/4. This is the 1st verse tabbed, he makes structural variations from verse to verse according to the lyrics. Work with the recording. By the way, if you find the open low E string strange, play the 3rd fret instead, but Bert definitely does sound the E. Enjoy :o) Rhythm = 4/4, 2/4 Beat:* * * * * * * * E||-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B||-----------0----0-----0--------|--1-----1--------1-----1--------| G||-------0----------0-------0----|----0-------0------0-------0----| D||-----5-------5------5------\3--|------3-------3------3-------3--| A||-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E||-/3------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------| * * * * * * * * E--------------------------------|--------------------------------| B--------0--------0-----0--------|--1-----1--------1-----1--------| G----0-------0------0-------0----|----0-------0------0-------0----| D------5-------5------5------\3--|------3-------3------3-------3--| A--------------------------------|--------------------------------| E-/3-------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------| Verse: * * * * * * * * E-----------------|--1-------------1-------------|-----------------| B--------0---3----|-----------0-------------0----|--------0---3----| G----0------------|-------0-------------0--------|----0------------| D------5-------0--|-----3-------3-----3-------3--|------5-------0--| A-----------------|------------------------------|-----------------| E-/3-------0------|--3------3------3------3------|-/3-------0------| * * * * * * E--------------------------------|-----------------| B--1-----1--------1-----1--------|--------0---3----| G----0-------0------0-------0----|----0------------| D------3-------3------3-------3--|------5-------0--| A--------------------------------|-----------------| E--3-------3------3-------3------|-/3-------0------| * * * * * * E--1-------------1-------------|-----------------| B-----------0-------------0----|--------0---3----| G-------0-------------0--------|----0------------| D-----3-------3-----3-------3--|------5-------0--| A------------------------------|-----------------| E--3------3------3------3------|-/3-------0------| * * * * * * E--------------------------------|-----------------| B--1-----1--------1-----1--------|--1-----1--------| G----0-------0------0-------0----|----0-------0----| D------3-------3------3-------3--|------3-------3--| A--------------------------------|-----------------| E--3-------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------| * * * * * * * * E-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B-----------0----0-----0--------|--------1--------1-----1--------| G-------0----------0-------0----|----0-------0------0-------0----| D-----5-------5------5------\3--|------3-------3------3-------3--| A-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E-/3------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------| * * * * * * * * E--------1--------|--------------------------------|-----------------| B--1---------3----|--------3--------------3--------|--------3--------| G----0------------|----0-------0------0-------0----|----0-------0----| D------3-------0--|------2-------2------1-------0--|------0-------0--| A-----------------|--------------------------------|-----------------| E--3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------| * * * * * * * * E-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B-----------0----0-----0--------|--------1--------1-----1--------| G-------0----------0-------0----|----0-------0------0-------0----| D-----5-------5------5------\3--|------3-------3------3-------3--| A-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E-/3------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------| * * * * * * * * E-------------------------------|--------------------------------| B-----------0----0-----0--------|--------1--------1-----1--------| G-------0----------0-------0----|----0-------0------0-------0----| D-----5-------5------5------\3--|------3-------3------3-------3--| A-------------------------------|--------------------------------| E-/3------3------3-------3------|--3-------3------3-------3------| * * * * E--------------------------------|----|| B--1-----1--------1-----1--------|----|| G----0-------0------0-------0----|----|| D------3-------3------3-------3--|----|| A--------------------------------|----|| E--3-------3------3-------3------|----|| TAB Guide: / = slide into from below \ = slide down to from above www.TAB6.com
