Recently purchased two sets of TAB/Notation for this, as it's a favourite of mine. I thought I would post up both versions, and ask which one you all prefer. There seems to be three versions of this piece.
The first version (I have TAB) is the one which was filmed on the 'acoustic routes' DVD, with Bert and John Renbourn sat in the kitchen working on the song, and this is my favourite, as the simplicity and way which the guitar melody matches the vocal, is really beautiful in my opinion. Unfortunately the first verse is almost cut off on the film, but the rest of the song is there :
Pierre 'Old picker' (one of my favourite (YouTubers) has done a great cover of this version :
The second version is from a Demo, released on 'living in the shadows' in 2017 :
The third version (I have TAB) is on the Toy Balloon album, and is to my ears, the most complicated and probably the most 'final' version, although I don't like it as much as the DVD version :
What are your thoughts people, and which do you personally prefer ?

I always liked this tune when I saw the film so I think I have to say I like the DVD version the best followed by the 4th video in a close second place.

...Nik, just take your favourite bits from each arrangement and make your own "composite" version.
