I've included two versions of the song. I'm not sure how different, if at all, they are. Hope this helps.
greetings: someone asked for john barleycorn must die (as done by traffic), so here it is (my first contribution :). i don't yet have the tab for it (just not that good at tabbing in real time, so i haven't tried to figure it out), so if anyone out there wants to give it A shot....
rhythm follows as below, strum to suit yourself. 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1
~title: john barleycorn must die, as done by traffic no capo
intro: same as the first line (twice?) w/ some finger stuff (tab is tbd)
A Em G D Em ( tab 1 - ->) there were three men came out of the west
A G D Em ( tab 2 - ->) their for- tunes for to try
A Em G D Em ( tab 1 - ->) and these three men made a so- lemn vow

(use intro tab (w/ flute :) for between verses filler)
comments on the chords: B(4) is Bsus4 (224452) and i play the B as an
A two frets up (224442). the strumming pattern for the B chords is a syncopated pattern. listen to the song, it's easy to play...
the rest of the verses follow the same pattern, and i don't have the rest of the words (or the song to transcribe from) with me. :(
comments? please feel free to correct anything i botched and provide
