Forty-five Years chords by Stan Rogers

Guitar chords with lyrics

Just so happens I've got that one on the machine....  Let's see now...
Oh yeah, a caveat, since I actually play mandolin I usually simpify guitar
chords, not knowing how to translate them there sus's and things...  So this
might not be strictly chapter and verse, but it works.  Enjoy.
