Liberation Day

Written by John Stewart

'Liberation Day' is from the outstanding "Bandera" live album, Feegie 1994, re-issued by Folk Era, 1998. Also on the limited-release Bandera cassette, (earlier) 1994, sold only at gigs in the UK that year.

Good song – sounds fine, no matter how you play it. Strumming works great, so this should be something for you beginners out there, too. Don´t ask me what the song is really about, for I don´t know.

Capo 2nd fret
