I'm sorry, I checked it and checked it, thought it was okay and sent it.
But I have since discovered a tiny error, so here's the corrected version.
Albatros by Fleetwood Mac

I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago.
In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which is in the chord of F#m)
as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass.
In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the
F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic
than playing it above the 12th fret.

I've had some feedback about this tab, and I'm afraid I made a slight error in
one section. Sometimes it doesn't matter how long you stare at something, a
glaring mistake always seems to slip through. Sorry, here's a corrected version.
