True Blue Chords

John changed the lyrics from "or just vegemite" to "or will she be right" when American-owned "Kraft" bought Vegemite and refused to contribute to the "Australian Made" campaign despite profiting from it. John is now singing "or just Vegemite" again since Australian-owned "Bega" bought Vegemite in 2017. I've left the alternative lyrics in brackets.
Difficulty: beginner
Tuning: E A D G B E

TRUE BLUE - John Williamson
 
This tab is moved up a tone from F to G to use easier open chords. If you want to match the original key,
transpose the tab down two steps back to F, or tune your guitar down a step to DGCFAD. You could also
transpose down three steps to E and then use a capo on the first fret, which again uses easier chords. Enjoy!
