Subject: "first cut is the deepest"
this song was originally done by Cat Stevens, but I learned the song
from Rod Stewart off of the "night on the town" album. It is a very
easy three chord progression. The beginning is just "C" but adding the
"F" note every second strum.
"First Cut is The Deepest"
(Cat Stevens) (Rod Stewart)
