Thread Name: Origins: One I Love (Jean Ritchie)
Subject: RE: One i love/Third Carol
Thank you, Mrs. Ritchie! Actually, it is easier to tell you how I play it chordwise on autoharp. I'm happy with how it sounds until someone corrects me. Roughly, Amin (All) C (fell) G (because) Amin (company) Amin (let them) C (say) Dmin (I love my love...) F (with a free good will)
and the chorus
...Amin C and G...
the song has so many familiar elements, I wonder what inspired you to write it? any other songs you heard? I would like to record it if I ever get a CD finished. Is that possible? Thanks.
