The January Man (Jansch Bert)

		
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)  
 
Artist: Bert Jansch  
Track title: The January Man  
Album: Moonshine  
Tuning: EADGBE  
 
This tune is one of Berts nicest arrangements, to compliment some of the most beautiful lyrics ever  
written, by Dave Goulder. The recording has some really nice harp on it, but it sounds fantastic  
with just guitar, too. You may find the rhythmic structure tricky at first but it really does flow  
with the words. The main riff is in 3/4 but there are bars of different lengths within; the  
asterisks are a guide. I've tabbed the intro and 1st verse, you may well find very slight  
variations in the other verses and the instrumental but nothing too important.  
The only bit I think you may  
find tricky is in the main riff where you slide down from the 7th to 5th on the high E string,  
hitting the open G when you reach the 5th. But you get used to it. I hope you enjoy playing (and  
singing) this very special song! :o)
