One-Chord Songs
- Published in: Repertoire
This issue's featured resource comes from the article entitled one-chord songs. The editor has searched far and wide to compile this master list of songs using only one chord, complete with links to each song's lyrics. If you've got questions about these songs, wish to dispute their "mono-chordality," or have another song to add to the list, please get in touch.
- Bad to the Bone
by George Thorogood - Bullet the Blue Sky by U2
- Catch a Falling Star as sung by Perry Cuomo
- Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin
- Coconut by Harry Nillson
- Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant
- Exodus by Bob Marley
- Hey, Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley
- On the Road Again by Canned Heat
- Run Through the Jungle by Creedence Clearwater Revival
- Showbiz Kids by Steely Dan
- Tomorrow Never Knows* by The Beatles
- We Will Rock You by Queen
[*Of course, Tomorrow Never Knows does have a Bb/C chord, which makes it arguably a two-chorder, but what's a Bb/C among friends?]

Don't worry about the notes, just get into the sound. Zen Guitar takes the pressure off and offers students a way into music that's based on (surprise) the principles of Zen Bhuddism.
