Hello,
Just before OLGA hit the rocks with EMI I posted Albatross to you,
but unfortunately there was a minor error in the tab. By the time I
sent you a correction OLGA had been shut down. So here's my amended
version of Albatross. Thanks for all the work you guys do, it's much
appreciated.
Regards, Malc
Albatross by Fleetwood Mac

Notes:
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.
Tuning:
Standard, EADGBE.
Key:
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
/ - slide up
\ - slide down

"One day I'll think of something witty for my .sig file"
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.
