One Chord Song or the Am Em version - Papa was a Rolling Stone by the Temptations
Papa
was a Rollin' Stone
Norman Whitfield Barrett

It can be played in any Key that suits your voice but I would use a minor Key and not a major for transposing.

Song : Bb Bbm It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day, that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth Momma just hung her head and said, son Chorus 2x: Bbm Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was a loan Bbm Hey Momma! Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children And another wife, and that ain't right Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leechin' Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the Lord Momma just hung her head and said... Chorus 2x Bbm Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal To pay his bills Hey Momma, Folks say Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...

This is the dream that is right for good people. My daughter follows this in her life and creates wonderful things from training she perservered with. Well done to my middle daughter. A+++
I have put the chords to this, so if you need to change them feel free.
Keep a Dream in Your Pocket. Key G.
By The Seekers – Judith Durham. Composer Bruce Woodley.
Keep the lamp of your learnin' burnin' bright.
Keep your [C] eye on your horizon and a smile on your face
As you travel down the highway of your [D] life.
[G] Don't listen to those voices that say it can't be done;
They build walls where there was never one before.
No, there's not [C] hing that can stop you, nothing that can drag you down,
If you keep lookin' for that ever-open [D] door.
[Chorus:]
[G] So if you follow your dream to the end of the [C] road,
Taking [Am] care not to let it fade [D] away [G] (not fade away),
If you follow your dream and you follow it [C] well,
It [Am] will lead you to the promise of a [C] bright, shi [G] ny day.
4 beats
[G] Well, imagine if Columbus had not dreamt the world was round,
And Armstrong had not walked upon the moon,
If John and [C] Paul never wrote a song for "Yesterday,"
If all of them had given up too [D] soon.
Keep your [C] eye on your horizon and a smile on your face
As you travel down the highway of your [D] life.
[G] Don't listen to those voices that say it can't be done;
They build walls where there was never one before.
No, there's not [C] hing that can stop you, nothing that can drag you down,
If you keep lookin' for that ever-open [D] door.
[Chorus:]
[G] So if you follow your dream to the end of the [C] road,
Taking [Am] care not to let it fade [D] away [G] (not fade away),
If you follow your dream and you follow it [C] well,
It [Am] will lead you to the promise of a [C] bright, shi [G] ny day.

[G] Well, imagine if Columbus had not dreamt the world was round,
And Armstrong had not walked upon the moon,
If John and [C] Paul never wrote a song for "Yesterday,"

Yes, they were [Em]
always taking chances, looking for the [C]
answers
That took the whole world to higher [D] ground.
[Chorus]

Keep a dream in your pocket,
Keep a dream in your heart.
Keep your dream forever;
Don't let it fade away.
Chorus. x 2 last one

The Golden Rule of two chord songs is – If the chord sounds wrong as you
sing the tune then it is the other one.
1. Jambalaya
written and recorded by Hank Williams
[I] Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh [V7]my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the [I] bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh [V7]my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the [I] bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet [V7]gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher[I] amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be [V7]gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the[I] bayou
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is [V7]buzzing
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the [I] dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh[V7] my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the [I] bayou
Settle down far from town get me a [V7]pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the [I] bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she [V7]need-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the [I] bayou
repeat #2
Two Chord songs in different Keys
Many of these songs are built on the 1st and 5th chords
in different keys, for example Jambalaya(C and G7) and Tulsa time(E and B7).
Try to play as many 2 chord songs as possible before moving on, it will
certainly help you a lot when playing songs with more chords in the future. Here
is the list of songs with 2 chords:
