[G]I like the [Em] flowers, [C] I like the [D] daffodils
[G]I like the [Em] mountains, [C] I like the [D] rolling hills
[G]I like the [Em] fireplace, [C]when the light [D] is low.
[G]Dumdidiadi, [Em] dumdidiadi, [C]dumdidiadi, [D] dumdidiadi...
  • By the way, the song works very well as a canon.

Song Examples:

Two chords in one bar

Songs that have a chord progression other than G Em C D are only intended for repetition later. So don't practise them today in this lesson.

  2. Guantanamera

Tip:

Put together a small medley of songs in G major and always play "Stay (just a little bit longer)" in between. For each "one more song" in the medley, the first verse and the chorus are enough.
