Richard Thompson Anyone?
Have been searching for accurate tabs for Richard Thompson songs but pretty much drawn a blank - there is a "Guitar of Richard Thompson" site but the tabs are not very good. Anyone know of a good source?

Lots of words and chords can be found here:
http://people.netcom.co.uk/r.kendric...ar/default.htm probably not much tab available. Richard is one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters around. A real unsung hero. I will never pass on a chance to see him again.

Beeswing?
He's the one who does 'Beeswing' right? Man, I'd sure like that tab. Great tune ... storyline, voice and music is all very nice. If anyone runs upon that one in tab, I'd like to see it.
edited... Update ... just found it ... in TAB ... at that site. Very cool ... sure hope it's right but looks good already. Thanks! Last edited by Danzo; 10-12-2003 at 05:48 PM.

Beeswing tab
The tab for "Beeswing" at http://people.netcom.co.uk/r.kendric...ar/default.htm doesn't look very good at first sight, but there are actually three tabs in it. This is what I make of the intro and start of the verse:
E||--0--------0--------|--------------------|--------------------| B||--------------3--0--|--0-----------------|--0--------0--2--3--| G||--2-----0--2--------|--------0--------0--|--------0-----------| D||-----2-----------0--|-----0--------0-----|-----2--------------| A||--0--------0--------|--------------------|--------------------| D||--------------------|--5--------4--------|--2--------2--------| --0-----0-----------|--0-----2h0-0--------|--------------------| -----------0--------|---------------3--0--|--0-----------------| --2-----0--------0--|--2---------2--------|--------0--------0--| -----2--------4-----|-----2------------0--|-----0--------0-----| --0--------2--------|--0---------0--------|--------------------| --------------------|---------------------|--5--------4--------| --------------------|--0-----------------|--------------------| --0--------0--2--3--|-----------0--------|--0--------0--------| --------0-----------|--2-----0--------0--|--------0--------0--| -----2--------------|-----2--------4-----|-----0--------0-----| --------------------|--0--------2--------|--------------------| --2--------2--------|--------------------|--5-----------------| --------------------|--------------------|--------------------| -----------0--------|-----------0--------|--3-----3--------3--| -----0-----------0--|--2-----2--------0--|-----2--------2-----| --------0-----0-----|-----0--------0-----|--------------------| --------------------|-----------2--------|--------------------| --5-----------------|--0-----------------|--0--------0--------| So for what it's worth, I'd say PART THREE is the one to go for. A couple of biographical notes: "Beeswing" was written for/about the incomparable Nottinghamshire folk singer Anne Briggs, long since retired. And the "steamie" mentioned in the song is probably in Aberdeen, since that's the only Caldrum Street in Scotland (although it's spelt Cauldrum on the RT website).
