NOTES: = I capo 5th fret to match ‘Black Bear Sessions’ album. A little high, but it captures the tambre of the Mandolin while fingerpicking on guitar. Otherwise, agree on a key, capo any fret and play in C. No capo (mandolins?) Then transpose the tune to F for the album key. (F=C, G=C, Am=Dm, F=Bb, Am7=Dm7, Dm=Gm, Dm7=Gm7.) ~Open with instrumental - theme~ C G Am F C G C G Am F C ||////|////|////|////|////|////|////|////|////|| C Through this Railroad Earth for ...Am Whatever it's worth, singin' F C G Songs and stayin' high.
