I'll start this by saying that there is a capo on the second fret.
I will still call the strings EADGBE. The chords will be as if the
capo wasn't there.

Bb (x1333x@1)        F (133211@1)                GNo (320003@1)place to dance, no time for song.
Bb (x1333x@1)         F (133211@1)            Cadd9 (x32030@1)GHe (320003@1)wears the colours of the summer soldier;

D (xx0232@1)           GWell, (320003@1)I don't think so.
D (xx0232@1)                       GI (320003@1)saw some grass growing through the pavement today.

The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
