This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Francois Campion's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
M1r1 original does not show rest. 8th rest added here to make rhythms work
out.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:

First ending over m20; 2nd ending over m21; 3rd ending over m22.
Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords
were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good.
Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated
stem.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill (starting on upper neighbor).
, = mordent (none in this piece).
z = rest. Fill in to make a solid block.
$ = petite reprise symbols. Repeat the material between the signs.
Octave doublings: To keep certain musical lines intact on the modern guitar,
consider adding or substituting the next octave up. For example, see:
m8r1, m14r1 and m18r3.
