Your Smiling Face chords by James Taylor

Guitar chords with lyrics

Transcribed by Carthach O Nuanain (carthach@iol.ie).
This is all my own work inspired by the fact that there was no
existing transcript that was correct.
Here we are "Your Smiling Face" by James Taylor from the live album.
I have written this out in full properly (no capo).
The changes are tricky especially considering the 3 key changes but I
think its worth it. If there is any trouble with the chords I can
write up shapes but it should just be a case of just practicing
the changes.
