CBjames Chord Req: One Kind Favor by John Hammond Jr. (8) Lyr/Chords Add: ONE KIND FAVOR (Peter Paul & Mary) 15 Jan 05


Mark -
I have the chords for the PPM arrangement set up in a fairly bombproof text format with .pdf back up. Which do you want?

I am not sure the melody is the same or even similar to the Hammond song you seek. No minor chords in the PPM version - mostly progressions of G G6 G7 interpolated in various ways.

Here is the skinny:

Note that this is in half time and that ALL the chord changes within the measure fall on the midddle beat.

ONE KIND FAVOUR

(Arrangement by Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey & Mary Travers 1964)



             |G* G7   |G6          G7         |G    G7   |
    There's |one kind |favour I'll ask of you | ____      |


G6 G7       |G   G7    |G6             G7      |G    G7 |
    There's |one   kind |favour I'll ask of you |___      |


G6 G7       |G   G7    |G6    G7       |G7 C      |Eb       |
    There's |one   kind |favour I'll ask |______ of |you _____|

G G7                |D                  |G G7 |G6 G7 |G G7 |G6 G7       :|
See that my grave |____ is kept clean |__    |      |    |    There's :|


* Chord diags given for G chords (G, G6, G7) in this arrangement show 5th
string (A) never played and 2nd string (B) always stopped at D position (3rd
fret).

G         G6       G7
xoo       xoo o    xoo
======    ======    ======

------    ------    ------
x|||xx    x|||x|    x|||x|
------    ------    ------

This might indicate an alternate open tuning on the 2nd string. But one would have to work out the fingering patterns for the C, D and Eb chords - probably not a big problem.
