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.
Not much has changed though!
