Nobodys Bar

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Nobodys Bar
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 5th fret

Another classic Bert tune! It’s quite simple to play and the alternate bars of 4/4 then
5/4 come quite naturally. I’m pretty sure it’s in DADGAD though I’ve seen it tabbed
differently in drop D tuning before. There are definitely a couple of fingering changes
you could make to make it feel more comfortable to your fingers and style of playing.
I’ve tabbed it in terms of the intro and verse; that’s all there is to the tune. There is
an instrumental break which is the same part. Listen to the recording for the feel and structure.

Rhythm: Alternate 4/4 then 5/4
