Greetings from London England UK. What a joy it is to see and hear this song being played. I first heard this song when I was about 12 in school. Brought back a lot of memories. There's a lots of chords in this song but I'm determined to practice until I get it right. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best for 2017. Veronica
"Morning Has Broken" is a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan" It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services. I sang this in Sunday school in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The song became identified with Stevens due to the popularity of his recording. Writing credit for "Morning Has Broken" has occasionally been erroneously attributed to Cat Stevens.
Great Job - I had purchased the music sheet of Cat Steven's version and you are 100% correct in the chords and great transitions. Very nice rendition! Any other vid of this genre? Mat Nadakal from Dallas Texas
and you could probably (more easily?) play an "open" G7 -with 3rd fret/6th string; 2nd fret/5th string; open D, G, and B strings; 1st fret/1st string. This is a great lesson though, overall.
The G7 fingering is played 1 fret higher. The handle in the overlay above is wrong. On the guitar, on the other hand, it is played correctly. Otherwise everything is perfect and super played.
