"When Will I Be Loved" - Melody & Harmony

This song was a lot easier to decipher than "Love Hurts". There's a lot of repetition and most of the bridge doesn't even have a harmony part. I'm fairly sure this is accurate, though on the quick syllable "it" in the phrase "It happens every time" on the bridge, I am guessing that the harmony note just starts on the same note as the rest of the phrase, even though it's really difficult for me to hear.

NOTE: The eighth notes are swung on this song, and unfortunately the basic software I'm using to write these parts out doesn't have a way for me to indicate that. So PLEASE DO NOT SING THE EIGHTHS STRAIGHT. You'll sound like a robot. Also this sheet doesn't show the true form of the song, which repeats the bridge and last verse, and repeats the last line. The chords and lyrics sheet has the true form written down.

Again, if you find there are errors, please let me know. I don't claim that this is perfect - although I try my best to make them as accurate to the recording as possible. ENJOY!

"When Will I Be Loved" - Chords & Lyrics

This week's song is "When Will I Be Loved" written by Phil Everly in 1959. I was originally working on another tune and the harmony parts were stumping me so instead I worked on this song as it's got a pretty small harmony part and was a bit easier for me to work out.

I wrote this chart using "Nashville Numbers" which I usually try to do unless the song changes keys or has too many chords that are out of the key. The original key was B so, if you're not familiar with Nashville Numering, the "I" chord is B, the "IV" chord is E, and the "V" chord is F#. That's it. Three chords. Nice and simple.
