Last week our Music Director, an accomplished musician, casually mentioned the chord progression C Am F G7 as being used for many songs. I started playing it over and over and, although I don't read music, many songs "came to me" (by ear). Some examples, with a few variations:
Return to sender - Elvis - C Am F G7
Twenty Six Miles (across the sea) - The Four Preps - C Am F G7
Teenager In Love - Every Brothers - C Am F G7
All I Have To Do Is Dream - Everly Brothers - C Am F G7
Bye Bye Love - Everly Brothers - F C G7
With a few more variations/simplifications:
Walk Right Back - Everly Brothers - G D7 G7 Am
Amazing Grace (written by John Newton) - C C7 F G7
Love Me tender - Elvis - C D7 G7 E7 Am Fm
There are many hundreds (thousands?) of other songs out there using these simple chord progressions.
Guess what I was doing the last few days while waiting for Tech Support to complete various steps ???
