Biko Drum Christy Moore
Hi All, this is a great song and credit to the person that put it up.
I've made a few additions/changes to capture Christy's beat on this.
It's just a half or quarter bar on the second cord on each line but if you listen
to the song you'll pick it up.
[(1)] As [G]they went home on an [C]Easter [G]Road
