Older chords by David Wilcox
Guitar 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.
