what is the best 2 chord song (not 3) in your opinion?
Teaching music----------- it is handy to have a few 2 chorders up your sleeve, esp for disabled students!
My faves at the moment; ' Better way' by Ben Harper B/ F#
' Don't Worry Be Happy ' also B F#
lots of traditioal tunes fit this & kids songs too!!

Title eludes me (drat!) - that Revolver song by John - "Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream..." He conceived it as a one-chord song, but to my ear it's C and B-flat. This is going to bother me until I get the title...
In the meantime, dig out your copy of Revolver...I had a go at covering it once...the bass and drums are AMAZINGLY steady...and have you seen that bit in the "Anthology" dvd where George Martin and Paul, George & Ringo are in the studio having a listen and pushing faders??? OMG!!!

Agreed and understood - but I'm hearing that B-flat chord...other elements, probably Mr. Martin's work - didn't seem to work out as a 'pure' one-chorder...and you deserve the card - I hope to earn it back (lol)!!

Here's one that I hope at least somebody knows - Third Uncle by Brian Eno.
Anyone know it? Todd perhaps?
There are tins
There was pork
There are legs
There are sharks
There was john
There are cliffs
There was mother
Theres a poker
There was you
Then there was you.
There are scenes
There are blues
There are boots
There are shoes
There are turks
There are fools
Theyre in lockers
Theyre in schools
Theyre in you
Then there was you.
Burn my fingers
Burn my toes
Burn my uncle
Burn his books
Burn his shoes
Cook the leather
Put it on me
Does it fit me
Or you?
It looks tight on you.

"I believe Buffalo Springfields "For What It's Worth" ... was written by Stills using just E and A..."
Only problem is the 'Stop Hey Whats That Sound ' chorus adds a D and a C into the mix..

Well I read somewhere that Stills originally wrote the song with just 2 chords....

----------I've got the album on my knee----the 2 LP set with the rose covered skeleton, comes after wharf rat,-- and b4 Goin' down the Road feelin' bad--
also 'mama tried'.----------------- thats a great song------------ I spent 20 years in prison doing life without parole----etc
You know,-- the first 45 record I bought with my own money, was "Oh Boy" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets and the B side was "Not Fade Away" -----
so we got three ?----------we play it live--- with the Bo Diddley beat!
some drummers find it difficult!!
