Subject: RE: John Lennon - Folk Singer
Apropos of not a great deal yet again (apologies), I've found myself working up an acoustic arrangement of "Nowhere Man" over the last couple of days, 'cos it just won't go away. 5 chords is quite adequate, well within reach of a guitarist of only modest prowess, and the central melody is just so strong it realy doesn't NEED much doing with it. So, strong melody, good lyrics, has carried for more than 2 generations...still ticks all the boxes for a folk song as far as I'm concerned!
