I’ve been sitting in my little room singing cover songs today:
“Pretty Good” – John Prine
“Rhiannon” – Fleetwood Mac
“I am a Child” – Neil Young
And “Stop Draggin my heart around” – Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty duet

Rhiannon has 3 chords. Am C and F. Hit songs can be simple!

I also bought Stevie Nicks’ “Bella Donna,” which was released 2 years before I was born, and it’s the first time I’ve heard it in it’s entirety. I discovered that you can sing the melody for Neil Young’s “Ohio” over the chords of “Stop Dragging my heart around,” which is pretty crazy….
