Ritchie Blackmore - Lovely Joan Tab

The song seems to be celtic ballad, so take care
that notes under beat marks will be accented
(emphazed) pretty noticeably (more accented
under | - less under ,). This concerns only

Riffs A, A2 & B. C & D are lyric and flowing,

you can even play 'em as separate song.

For all riffs let strings ring thruout.

/\ - slide up/down h - hammer on p - poul off ~ - vibrato s - strum (always downward), written above affected row. Cx - barre at x-th fret, written under affected row. ||o-o|| ||---|| repeat twice parts concluded in such bracets. ||o-o|| Here's the song sequence. Where not specified the opposite, only guitar plays. Allegro, 4/4
