Song title:      Love This Life
Original Album:  Temple Of Low Men

Words and Music by Neil Finn
Copyright © 1988 Capitol Records Inc.
Published by Roundhead Music - BMI

NOTES:
There are a couple of tabs of this song that have been around 
for a while now, thanks to Marck Bailey and John Kean. 
This is another take on this beautiful song. See what you think...

In the chorus, practice fingering the G using the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. 
This makes the change to Gsus4add9, and on to C/G*, so much easier. 

Capo on 3. Chords and tab are given as if no capo were used.
