_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _

_ _ _ Welcome back to Later on UK [C] Arena, where we are celebrating the work of Jim Webb, looking
at various concerts that he has done.
The [G] great thing about Jim Webb, of course, is
his songs.
And they say it's the singer, not the song, but of course, it's got to be a
bit of both, hasn't it?
As Jim Webb clearly demonstrates here.
