Counrty Down Chords & Tabs
Song: County down Artist: Phil Keaggy Album: Beyond Nature
Song type: Acoustic Instramental
Transcribed by: Steve Mezick
!Tuning: DADGAD!
This is a great acoustic song. It sounds cool, and it's fun to play. Phil
often tunes his guitars a half step down, as with this one.
I'm not sure about the timing changes, so what I have are my best guesses. In
some instances I wrote '2/2', that is because when I tabed this out, my graph
paper only had a certain amount of room per measure and I couldn't write that
small.
