Extra Time Song Lyrics And Chords The Calmans

from the album ''Scots Abroad'' 4/4 timing, for McCalmans version use capo 2nd fret, the guitar chords by Marc Fahrbach. This song is about a singer who has led a life of drinking, singing and generally having a great time. Then he's realising he's on borrowed time, no regrets on his behalf, he's just thankful he has made it this far in life. Anyway, back to The McCalmans Song Lyrics .
