Thanks for mentioning When Morning Breaks, Tattie. I didn't notice its usage of bVII and bIII chords until you reminded me of that. I've posted the chords to the song on my website here: F D When morning breaks, I'll be gone. F D G When morning breaks, I'll be gone. D F And where I go, I do not know. D When morning breaks, I'll be gone. C D The drums are rolling for war. C D The drums are rolling for war. G C D The lines are forming to wait for the morning, C A D To wait for the cruel cannons' roar! F D When morning breaks, I'll be gone.
It reminds me of another Paxton song - Jimmy Newman. F chord is frequently used, while the song itself is in the key of E. It's a rare occasion where a bII chord is used. I've come across some songs with bIII, bVI or bVII chords, but I believe Jimmy Newman is the only song I've ever played that uses a bII chord. Maybe there are more that I've listened to but didn't notice. Jason
