Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Boys That Broke the Ground (McNeil)
Here are the Chords from the Battlefield Band`s songbook:


If you're a thin- (C)king man at (G) all it stands to (D)rea- (G)son
That the (G)Clydesdale and the (D)cart have had their (G)day
Though they've (C)served the country (G)well for many's the (D)sea- (G)son
Oh the (G)narrow boats have ta-(D)ken their trade a- (G)way.
But to (Em)float a barge's keel you need the mu- (D)scle sweat and steel
Of a (G)thousand navvies working on the (C)line:

With our (G)picks all (D)on our shoulders (C)and our (G)shovels by our (C)side
We're the boys that (G)broke the ground to (D)join the Forth and (G)Clyde!
