 This Old Guitar
 John Denver
 The timing of this piece is 4/4: a regular 8 quavers to the bar.
 In the tab all notes are 3 characters apart except when there is a
 quaver rest (or a barline). 4 bars are repeated 3 times each verse:
 these are indicated by a/b/c in the lyric lines.
 
 Also indicated are the fingering used:
 i: index
 m: middle
 r: ring
 p: pinky
 b: barred (index)
 
 (Of course, you can finger it how you like, but this works for me: its
 basically the way I always finger these chords!).
