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
