My Baby Left Me
Key: DEasyD
C
G
'My Baby Left Me' comprises three chords: D, C & G. Conventional wisdom would dictate
that this is a V-IV-I progression in the key of G. However, the riffs & solos are in D
which instead indicates that this is the true key signature of the song. Thus we have
A I-bVII-IV progression in D, that is, D-C-G.
For the solos (not detailed here), Alvin eschews his usual rapid-fire approach and
instead adopts a less-is-more technique, substituting feel, repetition & vibrato for
his (10th fret) D minor pentatonic phrases.
