------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONCE WHEN I WAS LITTLE – James Morrison ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kengus This is pretty straightforward as I see it: no capo, no overly difficult chords etc. There might be a couple of D7s instead of plain D, but D works just as well. Also, I'm not sure Morrison plays G7 every time. Have fun. Standard tuning INTRO Em C G D/F# NB! play C like this: 332010, not x32010 Em C G D/F# VERSE1
