FREEDOM SONG - John Paul Jones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Mr Appleby
Tuning: Standard
Key: A
Time Signature: 6/4
Best track on the JPJ’s Thunderthief album in my opinion, and somewhat of a crime for a
tab not to exist!
This is the standard 3-bar (6 beat) structure of the song. As it progresses there is
some variation that sounds a lot like a combination of intention, sketchy technique and a
lucky take(s) – but works perfectly if you ask me.
If you want to work out the nuances, stick to the same scale and it should be pretty
straight-forward – what’s here should be entirely sufficient for a play and sing through
without too much practice.
*for some reason this tab will not display properly in the preview pane - if it remains
in the published version remove all the #8212;'s as they are erroneous and are
distorting the line positions.
