I've (tried to ) put chords to Blackwater Side. At first it sounded pretty good with just E & G (G for first half of 2nd & fourth lines), but I reckon it needs something else, but I'm damned if I know what. I think it ought to stay simple - to support the melody but not fight for attention in it's own right.

When does elegant simplicity become just boring.

Also, can anyone tell me why E & G work ????

Maybe I should apologise for music theory in a BS thread ???? (Big grin)

Argenine, hi, I'm pleased you nominated 'She Moved Through The Fair' for the 2-chord category. After playing around for weeks with complicated (for me at any rate) progressions I simplified it all down to D and C, (though I do sneak a G into the fourth line .)
