What Are The Chords To Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhees Born And Livin With The Blues?
I’m always a little amazed when someone asks this kind of question because if you would just pick up your guitar and strum along to the music, you could very easily figure out the key and subsequently the chords. I would bet that you are taking guitar lessons and relying on your instructor to teach you everything but, in reality, the instructor only points you in a direction the real learning is entirely up to you and takes patience, practice and creativity. So, I’m going to give you the key and the basic chords ( took about 7 minutes to figure them out by-the-way) and then perhaps with the help of a chord wheel and a little imagination, you can figure out what they are really doing with the rhythm and other subtle chord changes along the way. It’s in the Key of F so here are the basic chord changes: 2 bar Intro goes something like this F / / /, F C7 / /, Verse F / / /, F / / F7, Bb / / /, Bb / / /, A / / /, Bb / / /, Bb / / /, F / / /, F / / /, C7 / / /, F / / /, F / / F7, Bb / / /, B
