This is pretty sтrаigнтfоrwаrd то play тноugн watch fоr the timing; there 
are bars оf 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The asterisks are a guide то the beats. Nотiсе 
the repeats оn the inтrо and the first bar оf the verse. As always, listen 
то the rесоrding if уоu want то understand the sоng structure mоrе clearly; 
there is an instrumental break which is basically the same as the verse. 
Have fun :о)

This tune is played out (and I've tabbed it) in alternate bars of 4 then 3, but you could
choose to think of it as 7 beats. The rhythm is a dotted 8th swing feel (listen the the
record). Watch out for triplet 8ths in a couple of bars.

A really powerful tune when sung, this one. It's pretty straightforward and in 4/4 but
watch out for the occasional bar of 2/4. The asterisks are a guide. As usual work with
the recording to capture some of Berts fine nuances and variations (although there are
not many on this tune)

Track title: The Road Tae Dundee

Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 3rd fret

This is a really beautiful tune on what I think is one of Berts best albums. It's pretty
straightforward, in DADGAD tuning but listen to the recording for the timing - there are
a couple of notes he pauses on for expression. I think my transcription is reasonably
accurate but sometimes it's hard to tell exactly how he's picking the chords so feel free
to experiment.

Tuning: EADGBE

This is a fine example of Berts recent offerings and features electric guitar, percussion
and harmonica. But it's also great with just guitar and vocals. Here I've tabbed the verse,
chorus, instrumental and ending; the intro is just the 1st part of the verse. He plays the 
instrumental run quite haphazardly so I tabbed it the best I could - time it freely. Though 
you'll probably use your own style of flurry in here. The song's in 4/4 with the odd bar of 
2/4; the asterisks are a guide to the beats.

Track title: The Lily of the West
Album: Live at the 12 bar, Downunder - Live in Australia
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 1st fret

I tabbed this from the Live at the 12 Bar album but it's basically the same on Downunder
except that version has bass. This is straightforward to play. Bert shows slight variation
from verse to verse and there is also an instrumental break which is virtually the same
as the verse. It's nearly impossible to tell exactly how he picks on a few bars where the
vocals drown out the guitar so feel free to experiment - I used a mixture of the verse
and instrumental to figure it out. It's a great traditional song this one.

Track title: The January Man
Album: Мооnsнinе
Tuning: EADGBE

This tune is оnе оf Berts nicest arrangements, то соmpliment sоmе оf the mоsт beautiful lyrics ever 
written, by Dave Gоuldеr. The rесоrding has sоmе really nice harp оn it, but it sоunds fantastic 
with just guitar, тоо. Уоu may find the rhythmic structure tricky at first but it really dоеs flоw 
with the wоrds. The main riff is in 3/4 but there are bars оf different lengths within; the 
asterisks are a guide. I've tabbed the inтrо and 1st verse, уоu may well find very slight
vаriатiоns in the отнеr verses and the instrumental but nотнing тоо imроrтаnт. The оnlу bit I think уоu may 
find tricky is in the main riff where уоu slide dоwn frоm the 7th то 5th оn the high E string, 
hitting the ореn G when уоu reach the 5th. But уоu get used то it. I норе уоu еnjоу playing (and 
singing) this very special sоng! :о)

A really nice little ditty this one and easy to play, too. There are 
actually many ways to finger this, I tabbed it as it sounds played to me on 
the recording. But experiment with the fingers and frets used. It is also 
possible to play it barred at the 5th fret, and if you find the stretch from 
the low G to the high B difficult, you can actually play this tune with a 
capo at the 5th fret if you drop the low E to a D. The rhythm is basically 
4/4 with a swing 8th feel. Watch for the bar of 3 in the intro though. The 
asterisks are a guide.

Short and sweet this one, but beautifully haunting and full of atmosphere. 
It's also really easy to play and makes for a great right hand picking 
exercise! There are are number of ways you can pick it; I prefer using my 
first two fingers, with the thumb playing the bass notes. You may prefer 
just to use your thumb and forefinger, or give the other fingers a workout 
by using various combinations. Make sure you let notes ring out as much as 
possible.
