Hi.  After hearing the beautiful three saxophone arrangement
in Bjork's "Anchor Song" I found myself dismayed that it was
physically impossible for me to play this great song.  So=20
instead of learning to play 3 saxes simultaneously, I=20
thought I'd take a shot at transribing the song to guitar.=20
Here's what I came up with.  This can sound really nice=20
on a classical guitar (it will require finger picking), but any
guitar will do.  This arrangement is in the same key as the=20
original.  Some of the chords require some serious finger=20
stretching since I accounted for every sax note (except for the
low note in the final chord in the song), but I'm pretty sure=20
this is the easiest way possible for an accurate transcription. =20
If anyone has finger placement questions,
corrections, or anything, email jonpecan@aol.com.  Enjoy. =20

         (might want to try sliding pinky=20
              up to the 7th fret on the high E from
          the 5th or 6th fret to imitate
          the saxophone glide)

                  (or instead of using
                   10th fret B, use 14th
                                               on G and bar 12th fret)
