Albatros by Fleetwood Mac
Tabbed by Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk)
I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago.
In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which keeps the F#m feel, IMO)
as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass.
In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the
F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic
than playing it above the 12th fret.

I'm sorry, I checked it and checked it, thought it was okay and sent it.
But I have since discovered a tiny error, so here's the corrected version.
Albatros by Fleetwood Mac
Tabbed by Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk)
I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago.
In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which is in the chord of F#m)
as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass.
In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the
F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic
than playing it above the 12th fret.

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 FLEETWOOD MAC 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.
