Hi folks.
First of all, I can't recall ever posting a question like this. If I'm doing in the wrong place, I apologize.
To my ears, the song 'Little Maggie' (as sung by Ralph Stanley, Ricky Skaggs etc) is just two chords. If you are playing it in the key of 'A' for instance, the second played chord would be a 'G' chord. No other chords in the song.
Recently, someone advised me (suggested that I might be a tone-deaf moron) that instead of just dropping the chord a whole step...lets say again A to G, the real chord there in this case is Em, not G. Also I'm told that immediately before returning to the original chord...A in this case, a brief E7 should be there to resolve back to A.
None of this sounds right to me. I'm thinking maybe there are other versions/chord progressions of this song that I'm not familiar with. Trying to find a definitive answer through Google, Lyrics, Tabs, Chords etc leads to even fuzzier conclusions.
Any help with this song? And is there any reliable place to find answers to these 'chord' questions?
Thanks,
Clark
