How to play Morning Morning: key, chords and progression
Morning Morning by Richie Havens is built around E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), with 4 chords in all: Eb, Ab, Bb and Cm.
Most of the song cycles through Eb – Ab – Bb – Eb (I – IV – V – I in E♭ major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes D, G, A, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
