Little On Up — Nils Lofgren

Chords and lyrics for Little On Up by Nils Lofgren (key of F).

Verse 1

Great song which I first heard from the Acoustic Live album and it's that
version
i tried to figure out.
I think I got it fairly good, but it's by ear so it might be errors...
It's the same chords through the whole song. Listen to it to get the right
tempo and feeling.
The chords lining with the text is not perfect, but you'll get the picture
