If I play it in Dmaj, that is the general chord list ish for let it grow. With many songs, you either start (allowing for anacrucists*) on chord 1 or end on it as BWM says but cadences* can be funny things. Mind you, like most bluesy songs, transposing it to E gives some creamy chord progressions. But the chords used in D work well too.

If you try singing the song with just gently strumming one chord, representing the key chord (chord 1) that you think it is in, if it sounds ok ish, you should be there... I reckon it is D, especially as you state it is transposed lower. God plays in E. Period.

Alternatively, ask the rookery to accompany you with a gob iron... I would say accompany you with his banjo, but then you would be in Gmaj (ish) anyway.....

* guess who took O level Music!!

Any road up..

For those of us not running like hell up the freeway towards Jasper, being chased by a bear, 'tis tonight!!!!!

Wheatsheaf, Belton. Just up the road from chez Musket. Be there or be thirsty.

I've just bought an electric guitar, and I wonder..??? Naw. Mind you, it'd be a giggle to turn up with that, a few stomp boxes and an Orange stack at some singarounds hereabouts eh? I normally try to dig out and relearn a new song every time for Ep'th folk, but what with buggering about with the baritone and now the lucille (you might guess what I bought then) I seem to have forgotten to dig out songs...

The rookery now has surplus stock of Northwood guitars so expect one in the raffle. The gaffer has Batemans on and Albert is in my good books for sorting out my banjo (don't tell the rookery it is working again) and my old punk axe, a Yamaha GSX that hold a place in my heart and invariably in my youngest's collection. Grrr. (He ain't having the bugger, that's final.)

Turn up tonight and I can carry on boring y'all.
