Sunwheel dance - Bruce Cockburn
Found on:

SUNWHEEL DANCE (Bruce Cockburn)
performed in "Sunwheel Dance"
open E tuning: EBEG#BE
tabbed from score on album cover
I just added the bass line and the ending.
This piece is not difficult, excluding a couple of bars with a
barre' on the 5th fret and a lot of legatos: it is better to play
it in open D with a capo on the 2nd fret.
It is nice to play it before Kottke's "Cripple Creek".

Great contribution Alessandro. I noticed one small mistake just from memory.

I know its trivial but that's how bruce plays it.
Bruce is my favourate acoustic guitar player, at least his 1960 1970's stuff. Do
have any other tab for his other stuff, ie: spring song, keep it open - you know,
stuff off of his Going To The Country album.
Thanks a lot
Later,
Steve.
