Your favourite three chord tunes

[pErvinalia]

I'm a sucker for a three cord tune (particularly GCD variations). They hook me in every time, and I feel like a musical philistine every time I like one. But I'm old now, and I'll like whatever the fuck I want, whether it's got ten chords or one.

So many I could post, but it's late so I'll post the one I just listened to now, with more to follow in the days ahead.

I was a big blues fan back in the day and of course much of the rock in the late 60s and on was based on a simple 12 bar three chord blues. There are any number of early Claptonand his ilk songs built on that structure. Too many to list here.

Three chords is one chord too many man!

[Scot Dutchy]

The ultimate:


My time!!

[Scot Dutchy]

Almost identical. 12 bar three cord sequence cant change that much.

[Sean Hayden]

[laklak]

One of my favorite 3 chorders.

[Rum]

Up there with the Beatles (well a long way behind but up there..)

[laklak]

Love the Kinks. Diamond Dave and Eddie's take on the same three chords.

[Seabass]

One chord is sufficient if you are Bo Diddley.

I'm annoyed I started this thread now. My internet quota is seriously low for the rest of the month (thanks to AVG going rogue and downloading like it's the end of the world; and Chrome fucking updating despite telling it (via the only way it was believed possible - via a registry edit; fuck you google!) not to, so I don't have the data to watch all these...

[Scot Dutchy]

Amazing! An internet quota? Never heard of that here. Ok mobile telephones used to have it but that is now gone.

[pErvinalia]

It's because I'm poor, and I don't have a landline (so I have to get wireless internet, which is far more expensive). Most people have unlimited data.

But in a lovely coincidence, I just called my provider to get a bit more data this month, and they signed me up for a new contract that is $12 cheaper per month and gives me double the data!
