A four Finger picking Pattern is used that isn't easy Peter Paul and
Mary used it very often.
it always sounds like: dum-dudum-dudum dum-dudum-dudm
You Play it:
T;I;M;T;R;I T;I;M;T;R;I.....
R R
Or you can play it continuously: Dum dudum dedudum dedudum dedum
T;I;M;T;R;I;M;T;R;I;M;T;R,I T;I;M;T;R;I;M;T;R;I;M;T;R,I

Here Both Versions are used
Capo 2nd Fret
First strum this chord: -07500
(In case you like Metallica this chord was used in the call of the ktulu)
Then Play the first Part 4 Times:

When you've played it 4 times comes the other part:
e-|-0-----------------------------|-0-----------|--------------|
B-|-----------3--------3------0---|---------1---|-0h1------1---|

Now you play the firs part again 4 times put it has a slight Variation
e-|-0------------------------------|-8--------7---|-0-----------|
B-|-----------0--------0------0----|--------------|-------------|

D-|----7--------7-------7------7---|----7-------7-|-----------2-|
A-|-0------0--------0------0-------|-0------0-----|-0-2--0------|
E-|--------------------------------|--------------|-------------|
Now you play the 2nd part again then again the first part with the
Variation then again the 2nd part and then again the first but without
the variation
then strum the chord again add some harmonics from the top string and
you've got it!!
Oh don't forget to say "This is the fairy story of the Tangerine Puppet"
at the start.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DONOVAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
