WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Slim Dusty - Lookn Forward Lookin Back Ukulele | Ver. 1
Looking forward,looking back- Slim dusty
Tune guitar down 1 step Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb
The only tabs/chords I could find were rubbish so I sat down and worked it out myself.
This is a beautiful song that we played at my Dads funeral
and is one of Slims finest works.The chords written are what you play, ignoring
the drop in tuning.
The actual proper chords would be half a tone lower in name.
You could play it with a normal tuning but you would have to play the E in a
high position and the open chord sounds better (I think).
