Gerry Rafferty album: City to City 1978 song: The Ark Transcribed by Brett Stengs NOTE: during the chorus, there are some transition notes between chords (such as bass notes), as well as some fills during the latter verses. Intro (fiddle transcribed for guitar) may sound differently because in the song, this is played by Gerry's acoustic guitar. ------------- G D e|----------------------------------------------------| b|----1/3--1----------------3-------------------------| g|------------2/4--0--2/4------2~~--2p0---------------| d|--0-----------------------------------0-------------| a|--x--------------------------------------2p0--------| E|--3-------------------------------------------------| G D e|-----------------------------------------| b|----1/3--1----------------3--3-----------| g|------------2/4--0--2/4------2~~---------| d|--0--------------------------------------| a|--x--------------------------------------| E|--3--------------------------------------| G D e|----------------------------------------------| b|----1/3--1----------------3-------------------| g|------------2/4--0--2/4------2~~--2p0---------| d|--0-----------------------------------0-------| a|--x-------------------------------------------| E|--3-------------------------------------------| A G C D e|------------------------------------------------------------| b|------------------------------3-3-3~~~3-/5--3-1-------------| g|--------2--2~~2--4-2~~--2--/4-------------------2/4-2~~~----| d|--0--4------------------------------------------------------| a|------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 1 -------------
