Andrew Bird - Railroad Bill Ukulele

been singing it around the house constantly and couldnt find it anywhere. Feel free to
correct any problems so that everyone can benefit).

Capo: NONE


Note (*): When your two fingers are already on the low E string and the A string from
playing the G chord, try fingerpicking them in the order (low E, then A) before
transitioning into the B7 chord. Not necessary, but adds a little more filler towards 
the progressions.
