Smugglers Lyrics And Chords The Men They Couldn't Hang
Guitar chords by Marc Fahrbach in C , G and D Major. 4/4. The sheet music and tin whistle notes are included.
To play along with The Men They Couldn’t Hang on Waiting for Bonaparte use capo on 2nd fret to change key to D major. A traditional song for the most part. The last verse was written by Ian McCalman who also wrote the music to the song as it was a poem to begin with. I have included the sheet music notes. The Colours [ lyrics ] was another hit song for The Men They Couldn't Hang.
