This is from the first Wishbone Ash album.   It's all around D.
I doubt you could ever play this song the same twice.  It's not that it's really 
difficult to play
but what is difficult is picking up all the changes

00:00-01.40 kind of like:

G|----5h7-7-7-7-7-5-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-0~-0~-0~-0~-0~---7-5---5-7------5-7-7---5-7-7---5--------5-5-----5-5-|
A|----------------------7-----5--7-------7-------7---5--4-7-----4-7-----|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|------------12-10----------------------------------7-7-5-5---------5--|
D|---5--------------12-(repeat)-----4-5-7-5-4----------------7-7-8-8----|
A|-7---5--------------------------7-----------5-------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------6-3---------------------|

G|-5---------5-5----------12-10-9----9----------------------------------|
D|---7-7-8-8-----7-7--------------12---10----10-12----------------------|
A|----------------------------------------12----------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

From 01:41 to 04:35  BARE BONES OF IT
G|----------------7-5---------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------7-----7-------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-3---3-5----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------6--------------------------------------------------------------|

ABOVE ENDS WITH:   04:36-04:39
G|-2-0------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----3-2--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------0-3-5--------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

From 04.39 to 05:02  some filling around on D like
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wishbone_ash/handy_btab.html ]
G|----14----------12----------------------------------------------------|
D|-12----10----------9--------------------------------------------------|
A|----------12---------12-----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

About 5:20 to 06:22 he plays a line like
G|---------5-7-5-----------7-5-------------------5----------------------|
D|-----4-5-------7-5--and------7-5-----------5-7---7--------------------|
A|-5-7-----------------------------7-4---5-7----------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------7--------------------------------|


Then about 06:25 to 06:54
G|-4-5-4----------------------------5---5-7-5---------------------------|
D|--------7-7-7-7-7-7-------5-7-5-7---7-------7-------------------------|
A|----------------------5-7---------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

06:55 -07:22 switches to D and C play the bit 01:41-04:35 but just about 10 x faster

Then from 07:23 to 08:00
G|-----9----9 etc-------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-7-----7--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then:
G|-----------5-7-5-------------------5-7--------------------------------|
D|-----4-5-7-------7-5---------4-5-7------------------------------------|
A|-5-7-----------------7-6-5-7------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

From 08:16 to 09:28 relax!  It time for a drum solo then:
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----3------3------3-----3-then he kind of plays out to--------9-10---|
E|-3-5----3-5----3-5---3-5---------------------------------10-12--------|

G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----9-10-12-----------------------------------------------------------|
