Older chords by David Wilcox

Chords with lyrics

For all you guitarists out there, here's my transcription of "Older." I'm not
sure if this is one of David's originals or a cover. I'll probably put a copy
at the Nevada archive too for safe keeping. As usual, there may be mistakes
and I take full responsibility for them, but I'm pretty sure most of the chords
are correct. Feel free to send comments.
