             Sara – Fleetwood Mac
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Stevie Nicks
From: "Tusk" (1979)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

A multi-layered arrangement which is difficult to reproduce on one guitar.
I suggest two versions for different purposes here. Both use a capo on
the 3rd fret.

VERSION 1 - basic reading with just the two main chords in the Bridge,
            easy to play, a campfire arrangement
VERSION 2 - featuring all the split chords and adding some tabs for 
            a second guitar, elaborate


capo: 3rd fret
play: D
key: F

For chords in original key, transpose +3.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VERSION 1 with the basic chords (for one player) - novice version
