Ashokan Farewell

Music: Jay Unger

This sounds traditional, but it is not. Notes from tabber Bo Parker: "This is a lovely fiddle tune that sounds great on guitar. It was the theme song to an (American) public television series called _The (American) Civil War_. It's a waltz with a very soulful melody - don't rush it. Notes in parentheses are ``optional.'' - I don't think they're in the original, but they sound good IMO. The chord progression is pretty straightforward, but note the unusual vi - V7 progression, instead of the usual ii - V7."
