Three Chord Thursday: same one word title, different songs

Given that there are numerous songs with only a single word in their titles, let us narrow the list down and explore songs that have the same one word title but are completely different songs. Different lyrics. Different melodies. Different chords. These are not different covers of the same song but actually different songs, same title.

To fit them into our usual one hour in Zoom on Three Chord Thursday, we welcome performers to choose five one-word song titles so that we can hear the different songs on Thursday 3rd September 2020 – our 21st song session since we began this series.

Here is a preliminary list to evoke your memory. Let’s examine to see if they can be accompanied with just three chords.
