Busking 3 or 4 Chord Songs

[wiley]

Elvis sang this song during his 'Aloha from Hawaii'-shows in 1973, in one of them he says: 'I'd like to do the saddest song I've ever heard in my life for you, so just bare with me for a minute'.

Needles to say I don't think I have ever heard someone else singing it (sorry mr. Williams :blink: ), but I so enjoyed your take Kev', it's true, this type of songs really suits you, that was another great addtion to the thread, thanks for keeping it alive in such a great way!!!!

Dolly Parton's "Jolene"

Based on three convenient chords:
Am , C, and G...



Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Hes the only one for me, jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene

Daryl, Willem, & Chas: Thanks for all of your kind words fellas!!
This sure is a fun one to attempt. Glad, you liked it.
(I think we might have found a song we both definitely like. lol!)
This should be a fun one to pull off the shelf from time to time for a some polishing.

Kinda looking forward to giving "Little Red Riding Hood!" a try...
got a Spring Break coming soon Yippee!
I can't wait to try and tackle that and a couple other projects then, when I have some time.
