BRADY PAUL - "lakes of ponchartrain" Tablature

From: cimo@cs.montana.edu (Bob Cimikowski)
Subject: "Lakes of Pontchartrain"

Here's an old tune performed by Ireland's Paul Brady on the "Welcome Here
Kind Stranger" album. The arrangement is done in open G tuning, and you
will note some similarity in chords and chord progression with the old
Beatle's tune "Blackbird." I only give the intro and partial tabs. Please
excuse the chord names which may be inaccurate.
