G I Jive chords by Louis Jordan

Chords with lyrics

For this song I found that a simple combination of 'F, G, D, D' works well throughout, there is no link
between the lyrics and the chords so they are not synced in this tab and cannot pssibly be. However if you
strum each chord once when it is stated to then the song works perfect. Thanks!
