This is a (simplified) chord-only version of
There Is No Depression In New Zealand,
lyrics by Richard von Sturmer and music Don McGlashan in 1981.
I don't claim it to be my own
but I feel it's an important New Zealand song
and when I couldn't find chords or tabs for it
online I thought I should rectify that!
Unfortunately due to my lack of skill I haven't included
any of the solo bits; feel free to submit
them yourselves if you know them.
Enjoy. :)
