Tuning:
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.

As they went home on an Easter Road
On a Csilent night trying Fnot to Gshow
CWho goes where and Fwho goes Gwhen
Thinking Fsome day soon they'll get it Cback Gagain

From the ghetto in Capetown to dig the gold
