Birds Of The Borderland chords by The Stray Birds

Chords with lyrics

Standard Tuning
Capo 5 (all chords based on capo 5)

I've spent many hours trying to figure out both the words and the chords, so chances are there are several
errors!

C* denotes a walk-up (Bass note: A, B, then C majorC on second the 5th string)
C majorC walk down in the chorus = C, B, A, G+G then back to A augmentedA on the 5th string
The first line of chords in every verse (G+G and Dsus/F#) is strummed.

Hope this helps out! Please help improve this tab!
