Subject: TAB:  The Bells of Rhymney by the Byrds

This is how I play the song.  After listening to it since 1965, it was a
revelation to me (once I started to try to pick it up) how much the
dropped-
D
 tuning adds to the Byrds arrangement.  Having the bass tuned
down to 
D
 too really puts a floor under the song!  The tab, of course,
is not perfect.  Corrections, additions, etc. always sought and welcome.
Peace.

note on break:

If someone wants to post accurate tab for the break, please do.  Meanwhile,
what I do is improvise a bit around this.  Most of it is strummed~~~~~~~~.
I think Pete Seeger would approve of (any) liberties I've taken; I hope
Roger McGuinn would, too.
