 Cruel Sister: Pentangle (1970)


 

 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


 Tabbed by: James McKinnon

 Tuning: Standard: Capo 3rd Fret.


 


 This is a really nice traditional Scottish tune (Originally called 'Twa Sisters of Bonnorie'),


 converted to 4/4 time by Pentangle from the original 3/4.


 The part here transcribed is Bert Jansch's deceptively simple rhythm


 guitar arrangement. It is of a sufficiently full sound in itself to


 be all the accompaniment that the song needs.
