  Velvet Green - Jethro Tull 
  Transcribed by John Fahey <goog64@yahoo.com> 
  CAPO 1st fret - this makes it possible to play the melody in the intro and the breaks 
  ACTUAL chords written NOT chord shapes! 
  
  OK, this song has a million different instruments playing different melodies, 
  so this is the bit of the melody that I like best. 
  INTRO - ACTUAL fret numbers - ie '1' means open string.
