The Men They Couldnt Hang — Ironmasters

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

 There seems to be 2 versions of this track, the first in standard tuning and another, (the original album
 version I think), which it tuned slightly sharp, (about a quarter step). I'm guessing the track has been
 sped up slightly. Other than that it's a fun track to play. Makes me wish I owned a banjo!
 The chords in brackets are not played but you can put them in if you like, (I do).
