3 Chord Club: Stephen Foster

Posted on: June 12th, 2015 by dville
Today at the 3 Chord Club we’ll learn three songs from the father of American songwriters Stephen Foster.  Since Foster’s melodies are so familiar in the folk genre, you should have no trouble hearing and recognizing the chord changes in the songs.
At the 3 Chord Club we choose three songs from a specific artist, label or genre of music that we’ll learn by ear. All the songs will contain three chords or less (with the exception of Bonus Chord songs)! Since you know the song has only one to three chords, try to figure out the changes, or chord progression by ear while watching the YouTube video. Here’s a hint, most of the time the chords will be the I-IV & V or V7 chords. In the Key of C, that’s C-F-G or G7.
Remember, the sound examples may be in various keys. As an added bonus, try to figure out the key of the recording.
De Camptown Races
(Hint: Verse I-V7-I)

Oh, Susanna
(Hint: Verse I-V7-I)
Hard Times Comes Again No More 
(Hint: I-IV-I-V-I)

Songs presented are for educational purposes only and used under the fair use doctrine of United States copyright law.
