Jasmine

 

Written by JohnStewart

 

Jasmine is on The Day the River Sang, Appleseed, 2006. 

Aye, that´s a really, really fine song.  One of the highlights on a most excellent album. 

The guitar accompaniment is a bit more intricate than one first thinks, and it´s worth your while, players, to go for what we´ve written out below.  (And we left out quite a few of those little runs so as not to render the song ‘unreadable’).  If it´s a bit too difficult that way for some of you – still sounds great when you play a simple F instead of the chord we call Fadda, etc. 

Again, this is a real trio effort, each of us found something new when we emailed new versions to be reviewed.  Took a little while, but it was worth it.
