I'm always being asked if I have the chords to songs by
Supertramp. I remember the high-pitched vocals of
guitarist Roger Hodgson.
The band seemed to get very popular real fast. But I thought
the band broke up 20 years ago. My friend from Norway
loves their music. So, to answer some of my dear reader's
requests, here are a few chord charts to some popular songs.
