31 Dec 99 - 06:21 PM (#156251) Subject: RE: Chords: Draft Dodger Rag From: DonMeixner Steve, Point your search engine to "Phil Ochs". His site has all his songs and most all with chords. Easy to get to. But try a cycle of fifths in the key of your choice. G - E7 - A7 - D7 - C - G something like that is what I used to play years back on the auto harp. then whe I played it on guitar I'd slide them all up a half step to sharp them. G - G# - E7 - E#7 - and so on. But look for the site Don |

I'm blind as a bat and my feet are flat and my asthmas getting worse. Think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalud aunt, Blank blank blank blank blank blank blank balnk, and I,m working in a defense plant" Best I can do. When you hit the mid century mark on the calender, only two bad things happen. The first is you loose your memory, and I cannot remember the second. MarkS |

01 Jan 00 - 11:24 AM (#156574) Subject: Chords Add: DRAFT DODGER RAG (Phil Ochs) From: raredance "The Complete Phil Ochs" songbook lists the following set of chords. I always dropped it down a step to F, since my uneducated fingers could manage the F-F#-G progression more easily than G-G#-A.
(G)I'm just a typical American boy from (G#)a (A)typical American town, This song was not horrendously popular in 1965 when I highschool group I was in sang it in southern Wisconsin dairy country rich r |

31 Aug 00 - 10:19 PM (#288950) Subject: Info Req: DRAFT DODGER RAG From: Joe Offer Hi - just for the record, we have that song in the database - click here (you may know that). Chords are here. All the sources I checked say it was written by Ochs and copyrighted in 1964. Skonk, I can't imagine that Ochs adapted this from an earlier song, but I may be dead wrong on that. -Joe Offer- |
31 Aug 00 - 10:23 PM (#288952) Subject: RE: Chords: Draft Dodger Rag From: Joe Offer Well, Rich (who posted in January), it was tremendously popular in 1968, when we used to sing it in a Catholic seminary in Milwaukee... -Joe Offer- |
