Bruce Cockburn Guitar Tablature

Well, due to difficulties trying to log onto OLGA (On-Line Guitar Archive) and it's numerous mirrors, I've decided to create my own Web archive of Bruce's guitar work. It should be very easy to print out the pages from your web browser, even for text browsers.


However, before people go any further, the Ottawa Folklore Centre (Ottawa,ON) have released two fantastic song books that are well worth the money and effort. If you enjoy the samples below (including many songs not in the books), then PLEASE support them so they can maybe produce more books in the near future.

1) All the Diamonds, Vol. 1, (1969-1979)

OFC Publications, ISBN #0-919141-03-X

2) Bruce Cockburn - Rumours of Glory (1980-1990)
OFC Publications, ISBN #0-919141-04-8

Printed copies of these books can be obtained from:
