THE IMMELMAN TURN by AL STEWART Song Sheet by joinerbuilder NOTES * This song is in ( flat), but you can put capo on the first fret and play the chord shapes noted. second fret * Watch out for the missing bar at the end of the first MIDDLE section, and again in the SOLO. I've added the beats in those sections so you can see what is going on. * I think that's it, a nice folky number with a bit of historical significance, from Al Stewart.
