I think you could omit the IV and get away with it........... You could just stay on the I. I must admit it is hard to resist that IV!......I think I'll have to agree with you.

Most good harmonizations of Amazing Grace have a lot more than two chords.

I say hit the beginners hard. At least 24 chords per song.

Yes. Start them off with "Aja" or "Black Cow."

I believe "This Old Man" uses I and V exclusively.

I'm sure something from Van Morrison does... off Astral Weeks... "Cyprus Avenue", "Madame George" maybe? Don't have them nearby to check, but they are arguably only two chords...
Failing that,

Well, I can't think of any off the top of my head, but there are probably at least 100 Brian Wilson songs that use either primarily or only I and IV.

ONLY...TWO...CHORDS! This song is a work of genius; if any track should be included, it should be "Dream Baby" for its ingenious use of...TWO...CHORDS! TWO CHORDS!

There have to be some hip-hop songs with only I and V.

But, come on...Why can't this thread be "songs with only two chords five semi-tones apart, ie. F and C"? That would mean a slower death to this already dying thread. No offense intended.

See, I would actually almost go so far as to call the change to F7 in Dream Baby a key change. It's a very neat chord change, I just don't believe that it functions harmonically as the I chord in that situation.

When you can think of a worthy list of songs that ONLY uses I and V, dig me up and dust me off; you might be looking for a while.
