Lullaby To An Anxious Child - transcribed by Christian Wetzel
Note: I'm sure I've heard the right notes, but there are hundred other
ways to play them, especially the notes on the higher frets. So after
you have figured out the TAB, try to find a more comfortable way to
play it, perhaps.
The numbers in {} brackets mean flageolets (I don't know if it is the
right english word, it means what in guitar scores is marked with
"har.12", "har.5" etc.).
time signature: 4/4
key: Em
Intro:
1/8 beats
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc.
