Railroad Earth
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.)
