i noticed this a while ago.......

one tin soldier

Most Green Day

Gives you hell, move along, etc.

Handlebars is the only song i can think of that uses a 2, 3, or 7dim chord.

I was amazed by this! Nobody has an original idea with the music... just lyrics.

[EnterJustice]

@davehalliwell1 More accurately: I V vi VI (many of these "covers" have been transposed). Works well in different orders too, such as I vi IV V (ending on the dominant chord).

[CurlyWurly555]

they are in the side bar
