The Rambler chords by The Willis Clan

Chords with lyrics

I love this song.
First I wanted to write the tabs of the solos, but finally I've tried to transpose them into chords, so
it would be for non professionnal -as I am- to play the song and the instrumental part (though there are no
mistake of course).
I spent a long time trying to do this and even if it's not perfect, hope you'll appreciate.

Good play !
(If someone could give me the words of "hundred times better with you", as I'm not a very good english
speaker that would help me to find the chords too).
