Excellent song!

But I believe there's only two chords in the whole song.

In D, it's just

(instrumental part with flute)
D
D
DGA

verse:
D
D
A D

bridge:
D

If you can't work out the chords to this by ear - you must have a really bad ear!

Don't be unpleasant. Some people obviously do not have your ear.
A pleasant question deserves a pleasant answer.
Quack!

lesblank,

As the chords simply go from 'A' to 'D' and back again, I really don't understand your point.

Pray tell me what other chords you hear?

If you want to be offensive, then I'll respond: I'll suggest that your brain is up your arsehole and that you are clearly of fairly limited intelligence.

To Second Guest

My point is that first guest asked a very innocent question. You came back with a very snotty remark about his bad ear. Your use of the word "arsehole" tells me you are a "bloody limey", so go start your own thread and stop being so damn typical.

lesblank,

I'm sorry that you dislike British people. We can't help where we are born/raised.

If you bothered to come to the UK, I think that you'd be shocked at the lack of the number of people who are "so damn typical" as you imagine.

btw, I don't take any offence at being called a "bloody limey". It simply illustates your own lack of decent vocabulary.

Boy, I don't like the looks of the message at http://olga.net/:

OLGA is currently offline while we resolve legal issues with the archive. We greatly appreciate your support and hope to return to providing resources to the aspiring guitarist as soon as possible.

I have to say I've wondered how they've survived the Copyright Cops all these years. I hope they survive this one.

this song is in the key of A for the most part. the only other chord is an F#m on the word name in the bridge ie Oh Juanita, oh Juanita I call your name". Most videos I've seen of him playing this song show his fingers in the A chord shape at the 5th fret
