It Dont Bother Me Chords & Tabs
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)
