Title: It's Too Late
Artist: Carole King
transcribed: rjmcpher@uci.edu

notes: Carole King plays the piano and I just arranged the piano chords
for solo acoustic guitar here.  Note that you can substitue a D7 for the
D6 if you prefer the bluesy sound.  I'll put my chord voicing choices at
the bottom but this is all from ear so feel free to choose different
chords.
