Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Caledonia
Album: Crimson Moon
Tuning: DADGBE

This feelgood song is really easy to play and very enjoyable, too. I've tabbed the first
verse but the rest is virtually the same with minor variation. There are a couple of
places where it's hard to hear the exact notes he's playing but I'm sure it's pretty
accurate - the only part I find strange is in the last B minor shape, where I've tabbed
it note for note (I think) but it seems quite awkward to play smoothly and lead into the
G position as played. Also, the bass makes me slightly confused as to whether the first
note in the verse is a low D or F#. Not to worry - I think once you've got the basic
chords down you'll probably pick it to suit you anyway. Great song though! Enjoy :o)

Rhythm: 2/4 (all notes are 8th triplets)
