Help, can anyone please assist me with music (especially guitar chords
/ tab) for the Moving On Song by EwanMacColl & Peggy Seeger. I have
the words but despite trawling through Olga and others I have not been
able to find any music. Any help really appreciated.

Actually, I imagined the song requested was the one recorded also by
Christy Moore, interpreting an aspect of the Christ Child's birth: the
pregnant peasant refused lodgings by the in-humane (capitalists, by
extension). Chorus goes something like:

Move along, get along,
Move along, get along,
Go, move, shift.


If that's what you were looking for: sorry, I don't have the chords.

On the sunny side,

From memory, something like this....

Born in the middle of the afternoon
Am
On a horse-drawn wagon on the old A5:
G Em Am
The big 12-wheelers shook my bed
G Am
You can't stop here, the policeman said
Am7 D Am D(m)
- you'd better get born in some place else:
Am G Em
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Am Em Am Em
Go - move - shift....
Am F Am - Em - Am - Em
