8. Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes - Edison Lighthouse

Album cover of Already featuring best 70s classic rock songs songs and the song Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes

Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes was a #1 hit in the UK and Ireland and a top 5 in Canada and the US where it hit the airwaves in 1970. The track is from the Edison Lighthouse debut album called Already.

This one is two frets higher in the key of A but too high for my vocal so my lesson here is in G, Cmaj7, Em, Am, A7, D, D#m, G7 and a C. You can play a down down up down down up down up rhythm pattern for the verse and a down down down up for the chorus. A few picking riffs here in standard tuning but a capo 2nd would be the original key. I left out the half step key change near the end.
