Little Boxes Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Chords used are C F and G7 if playing in C major

 but you can use A D and E7 in A major if you find it easier.

remember, its in 3/4 time and starts on an upbeat and all chord changes are at the

of the bar/measure.

Listen to a recording to get the feel of it and the vocal melody. If you can't find one,

is an excerpt of Pete Seeger's version in the Multimedia on MS Encarta and the first

verses are used as the theme to a certain Cannabis-orientated TV show
