Thread Name: Odd chord progression in Tom Paxton song
Subject: Chords Add: I Don't Want Your Pardon (Tom Paxton)
Yes. I agree with Paul that the song could actually be in G, though it begins with E major and ends with E major, and there isn't even a G chord used in all its main verses.

I've posted the chords to the song on my website a while back:

  E                         C                    E
  I don't want your pardon, don't want your amnesty.
  C                    D              E
  Don't you smile with Christian sympathizing.
  C                                  E
  Don't you tell me you're forgiving me.
  C          D       E
  I am doing no apologizing.
