It's a lotta fun, this blogging lark - yesterday I was 'Up the Junction' with Squeeze, today I'm going 'Up around the Bend' with Creedence Clearwater Revival!!
I'm reworking two of the classic songs on my Creedence guitar chords page - "Up around the Bend" and "Long as I can see the Light"
First thing I discovered was that I had both songs in the wrong key. These would have been worked out in pre-YouTube days, back then I was just working the keys and chords from my memories of the song, it's so much easier now that you can listen to pretty much every song on YouTube while working out the chords.
There were also a few endline 'filler' chords I'd omitted, which make the song sound more complete. I converted the text files to web files, added links to the parent and home page, and embedded the videos to play along with.
The converted and updated pages with these songs are at the links below, and videos for both songs have been embedded. The songs are chorded in the correct key for playing along with the video.
"Up Around The Bend" chords are - D A A7 G and F#m, a nice easy set of chords for learning guitar players. ( see Guitar Chords for Up Around The Bend )
"Long as I can see the Light" chords are ( relative to capo on 2nd fret ) A E D and F#m, also a handy enough bunch of chords for beginners ( see Guitar Chords for Long as I can see the Light )
These new versions are now available on my Creedence Clearwater Revival guitar chords page, along with another 10 or so, I'll be revisiting the page to 'fix up' these songs ASAP. You can find all of my Creedence songs guitar transcriptions at the link below:
