Odd chord progression in Tom Paxton song (25)

Chords Add: Boy in Ohio (Phil Ochs)

24 Mar 15

It seems that Phil Ochs likes using bIII, bVI and bVII chords a lot. Here's another example:


  G                 C      G
  Creek was running by the road,
                            D
  And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'.
     G                C          G
  I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive
       Em              Am
  When I was a boy in Ohio.
  G                    C         G
  The English teacher, he didn't care.
                      F
  He challenged us to checkers.
      Bb                          D7
  And once in a while we'd swap a joke
                       Eb
  When I was a boy in Ohio.
