This is not the type of music found on Chordie but I would be thrilled to bits in anyone had the guitar cords and tabs for "On the Road to Passiondale"  It is a beautiful WW 1 song usually played on the pipes.

And here's a you tube video with guitar. Unfortunately, my ear is not good enough to pick up the chords and the mike stand is obscuring the fingering in much of the video. Maybe a member with better transcribing skills will give it a listen and reply.

Beautiful song.

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: "On the Road to Passiondale"

Right, as far as I can see the chords for guitar on this tune are G, Em, C, and D
I hope this helps.  James Mac Seoras Blair

Heya Dale,

I will try and help you out with this later this evening, the clip that Tops added is in Bb and he is playing capoed at the third fret and is using a G shaped progression and I believe  Aseumus is right with the chords used. I will try and get it broke down later.
