Berts take on She Moved Through The Fair - really haunting. Really great sounding guitar.
This is quite easy to play - I've only tabbed out the intro before he starts singing as
the rest of the song only consists of these parts anyway. As usual though Bert displays a
little variation and improvisation as he goes through the verses, so check with the
recording if you want to play it note for note. I left a couple of the trills/graces out
for ease of reading.
Rhythm: 4/4 (fast)
