Not a criticism. Just a friendly suggestion (that’s what we’re here for, right?):

 

Try A7 -> D minor on the third “I’m gonna let it shine.”

Yeah you're right, I tried  that out on guitar and it sounds good, but harder to trick my fingers into doing it on the concertina!

Well, the A and the G are in the melody, so you can leave one or both of those notes out of the A7 chord in the left hand (I’d leave out the G, for sure). And in any 7th chord the 5th (E in this case) can be left out, so the only note that’s critical is the C#. Anything else in the chord you can play with it is gravy.
