Ooh Child by Richie Havens
OOH CHILD
This is the first song on Richie�s album Mixed Bag 2, which was originally
released in 1974. At the time of writing (December 2010) it has just been re-
released after being unavailable for many years. Despite being of a different
generation my son had always liked this song when he listened to my old vinyl copy
(now sadly lost but replaced with a new cd) and this prompted me to attempt my own
version in Open D tuning. I have used Richie�s chord fingerings and this is what I
have come up with so far. It is still a work in progress but is satisfying to play
and sing. Any improvements would be welcomed.
