Only Way To Build A Railway

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: 4th traste Released: 1975 Album: The King Of White Otter Lake Note: In the YouTube Link provided the song starts at 22:55 Worked out the lyrics to this song as not on the internet. If any corrections please let me know and I will correct. Thanks Capo: 4 fret Alternate or different capo fret positions are easily possible by using the button below. The chords will automatically adapt to the new capo position. Plus 1 on the transpose button means capo fret position one down; minus one means capo one fret up. Using the Transpose button can affect the placement of the chords in the line. Small movements of the chords on the line are possible (depends on length chord names). Example: To play this without capo set the transpose button at +4. Half step down tuning set the transpose button at +5.
