THOMPSON RICHARD - "withered and died" Tablature

Official THOMPSON RICHARD Tablature & Sheet Music »

From: bhutchinson@cix.compulink.co.uk ("Barry Hutchinson")
Subject: TAB: "Withered and Died", by Richard Thompson

A simple fingerstyle arrangement of a very pretty song - sung by Linda
T., as was, on the album "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight". R.T.
has a great knack for writing very authentic-sounding "traditional" songs
- "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again" being another of my own favourites. I
like his later style too, but the early stuff still moves me most.

One verse and coda transcribed.

All comments very welcome.
