Song: Song of Good Hope
Artist: Glen Hansard
Album: Rhythm and Repose
Tabbed by: Jon Ransom
Most of the leg work has been done by other people on this but I'll put up my tab based on Glen
playing this song live and videos I've seen online of him playing it. This is 99%
accurate. There is
just one small part I haven't totally figured out and it's the third/fourth chord Glen uses in the
beginning intro and bridge. Well, fair play, cheers all, and Gra mor! Commence to singing with
your whole hearts!
