Cat Power chords for Fortunate son

About this song

"Fortunate Son" was originally written and recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969. Cat Power, the stage name of singer-songwriter Chan Marshall, covered the song for the soundtrack of the 2008 film "Dark Streets." Marshall's version features a stripped-down arrangement with acoustic guitar and minimal percussion, giving the song a more intimate and haunting feel compared to the original. The cover showcases Marshall's unique vocal style and emotional delivery, adding a new dimension to the classic protest song.
