Since we've been talking about Hank Williams, I wanted to include this chord progression for you. A lot of musicians play it differently, but this is the way it's REALLY supposed to be played. So pay attention.
We're going to play it in C. If you want to transpose it to a different chord, that's fine. I'm only going to include one verse here, because they're all the same. Here we go...
Did you (C) hear that (Em) lonesome (Am) whip-poor-(G) will?
He (C) sounds too (Em) blue to (Gm) cry. (C7)
The (F) midnight (Fm) train is (C) whining (Am) low
And I'm so (C) lonesome (G) I could (C) cry.
The secret to giving this song the haunting sound it's supposed to have lies in the change to the Gm and the C7. It makes all the difference in the world.
Give it a try and see what you think. As always, feel free to leave your comments. I love reading them. If you have any questions, ask away.
