Number | Song Link | Key – Recording (for my own songs) and Comment |
1 | Heart of Gold (Neil Young) | G – I play this pretty much like this although I may add a little more harmonica |
2 | Shower The People (James Taylor) | F (capo 3rnd fret) |
3 | Lovers & Fools (RAH) | Gm – Lovers & Fools (RAH) |
4 | The Weight (The Band) | A – I do this a little differently, but not hugely so. I have never done the intro but will try it… |

10 | Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton) | |
11 | Daddy Gave Me An Airplane (RAH) | C – Daddy Gave Me An Airplane (RAH) |
12 | The Letter (Joe Cocker) | Am – Kind of a Joe Cocker version – at least with this kind of rhythm |
13 | Against The Wind (Bob Seger) | G |
14 | Stormy Monday | G – This is a straight blues tune and as I am on my own there is no long intro or lead break. |
15 | Always On My Mind (Willy Nelson) | D |
16 | All Of Me (Willy Nelson) | C ? – I play this pretty straight although this is a swung version |
17 | AInt No Sunshine (Bill Withers) | Am |
18 | Wagon Wheel (Darius Rucker version) | A – I’d like to do this but I have to learn it first so we will see |
19 | Getting Old (RAH) | Am – Getting Old (RAH) This is a wild version and I don’t play it quite this fast but you should get the idea. |
20 | Lucky Man (ELP) | G – This is a high probability because it’s one of my “go to songs” |
21 | Homeward Bound (Simon & Garfunkel) | A |
22 | Help Me Make It Through The Night (Krisofferson) | C – I play this straight, not country swing like this and also a bit slower |
