27 Nov 14 - 01:42 AM (#3680379) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Songs by Phil Ochs From: GUEST,threelegsoman I have sung a number of songs by Phil Ochs and have a playlist on my Youtube channel of the ones I have uploaded there. Playlist of Phil Ochs' songs I found it difficult to work out the chords for these until I realised that the tuning he used was the American tuning of 330 for C as opposed to the British tuning of 440. I show the lyrics and chords on screen for all my videos and the ones in this playlist are: Another country The Ballad of William Worthy I Ain't Marchin' Anymore Spaceman What Are You Fighting For When I'm Gone There But For Fortune There Was A Time Changes The Confession Ballad of the Carpenter Celia That Was The President United Fruit Bracero |
