Needle of Death

hello
Has anyone come across mandolin tabs for the Bert Jansch tune - Needle of Death
I am still learning this instrument so nothing too complicated please.
Thank you
Brian George

That's a real deep cut! Great song, thoughtful message. And that side also has Angie on it, IIRC.

I don't think you're going to find tabs.
What you should do if you can't find them, is to learn the chords to the song.

From https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab...h-tabs-1898360

A . . . . . . A6 . . . . . . D/A
When sadness fills your heart
. . . F#m . . . . . . Eadd9 . . . E9
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
A . . . . . . A6 . . . . . . D/A
When things go wrong each day
F#m . . . . . . . . . . . . Eadd9 . . . . . . E9
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery

F#m
Your troubled young life
. .A . . . . . . A6
Had made you turn
. .D/A . . . . . . Eadd9
To a needle of death

From there, you'll have the approximate finger position and pitches, and you can figure out the melody relatively easily.

There is a book of Bert Jansch guitar transcriptions, including this song. It has melodies (standard notation) and chords.
