TURNING OF THE TIDE By Richard Thompson From the album "Amnesia" This transcription contains two parts. Part one is a version that Is very similar to that which can be found on Celtschmerz. The second version is the straight chords album version from Amnesia -------------------------------------------------- PART ONE Hi. I've tabbed a new version of Turning of the tide. It's by no means perfect, but it's more fun to play than the straight chords, and sounds reasonably alright.
