Chords
This is mostly a copy-paste from the older acoustic version, so credit goes to user edcarroll24.
The only changes are the lyrics which are brought from the newer Live in London recording.
In places where Father and Son sing at the same time the parts have been written directly together with the
chord to be played above both. Like so...
D
[Son] Just a guy and his little guy[Dad] Just a guy and his little guy
