Tab Mark 1:15

Mark 1:15
by John Fahey

From the album America
Transcribed Damien Batstone

Hi All,

This song is the longest on the re-released America album and is a
revision from "When Springtime Comes" off Death Chants etc. (Soon to
be released by Fantasy). This version has one cut on it to bring the
total album size under 70 minutes and therefore lost about 1:30 from
the (some think overlong) intro. Apart from the intro, there are
several new and interesting parts not on "When Springtime comes".
This is a fantastic way to extend one of the best Fahey songs ever
written. The transcription here refers to parts in the Mel Bay book
(see the web site http://student.uq.edu.au/~s301086/ for details) for
the sections from "When Springtime Comes". I had a go at timing the
intro but don't take the measuring too seriously.
