Living On An Island
Status Quo
Whatever You Want 1979

A lovely one to strum along to. Innit lovely?
If you want to strum along to the record then
you will need a capo on the second fret.
You can play it without a capo but it will put
it in the key of G.
(So obviously I have given you the shapes
not the actual chords)
UPDATE:
After nailing the bassline I have found some inversions
and extensions that I didn't see before.
(I was not very good at the time.
Still not very good! :P)
