Harry Lime Theme

(From the 1949 movie "The Third Man")

Music by: Anton Karas

Arrangement by: Bill Taylor

 

Martin Carthy teaches this on his sublime "English Fingerstyle" DVD.  I had forgotten about this delightful tune, but it is a good 'un for guitarists.  There are lots of power tabs out there, but Bill Taylor has a great ASCII tab for this tune.
