Was wondering if anyone could help me out with chords for The Corries version of Macpherson's Rant?

I think they played it capoted (is there such a word?) at the 5th fret....

Many thanks in advance.

I also sing this song in F, but unaccompanied unless there is a good fiddler around. Fiddlers who are also singers are by far the best.

Personally, I wouldn't use the C7, but rather a staraight C. IMHO, 7th chords are too rich for trad and tend to distract the listener from the song -- Tom

Here you go Para, from the Corries Song Book. From one Corries fan to another.
