You're most welcome, TenThumbs. It was your post that prompted this lesson.

Just to clear up the key question: it doesn't start on the 'One' chord of its key, that's all. Keys consist of 7 related chords, and usually tunes start on the One Chord, namely the chord that's built on the first degree of the scale that underlies that key. In this case, the tune starts on the Four Chord, the chord built on the fourth degree of the scale, which is Dm. But it's still in the key.

There, now I've thouroughly confused you, but don't worry about all that stuff. Just get your fingers to and from the required frets, inject some musicality into it and have fun.

As for the lawyers, chord progressions can't be copyrighted, so they're out of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion.
