Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire--J.S. Bach 9/8 time. Mostly triplets. Like a lot of tabbed tunes, it helps if you can listen to it. Most everyone has heard this beautiful tune somewhere. I wrote the tab for this shortened version from a midi I found on the net. "tr." is a suggested tremolo, something to do with those long notes.
