Lyrics And Chords For Some Jolly Fine Songs

This is a collection of songs, mostly by Al Stewart.

Many of the songs were originally tabbed by people on the fan-sites. There are two reasons why I've copied the songs here. First, I wanted all the verses to be tabbed, when we're singing together it really helps to have the whole thing there. Second, in some cases the "official" tab is very different from what I play, and I'm too old/lazy to learn the proper version.

Thanks to Adam Woolfe, Ray Hewitt and the other transcribers at the Al Stewart web sites.

In a few cases (such as Flying Sorcery) I've added some specific chord shapes where think I know some of what Al is doing beyond the basic tab.

The Michael Chapman tabs (of which there are more in the pipeline) were figured out by Graeme Morrell. The remainder of the songs were transcribed by me usually with the help of my son Jonathon, most of the interesting chords were found by him.
