Hello Workers.

I was looking at Black Rain Falls this week (I was actually making a =
back up copy of my LD) and I listened to Instant Karma and said " That =
does not sound to bad - I might be able to do that chord progression". I =
tried to work it out myself but it did not sound right - so I went =
online and found people had chords similar to what I was working out.

INTRO  E   G

A          A/G#...             F#m
Instant  Karma's Gonna  Get You.

The E and G sound Good, But A A/G# F#m progression just doesn't sound =
right on my acoustic. I was wondering if the Oils were using an open =
tuning on their version of the song - or is it just a difference between =
electric and acoustic.

I also have the original "Instant Karma" on a Lennon CD in my collection =
- It sounds like it is in the same key - but the backing chords are on =
Paino, and the chords become a lot more subdued that the oils version. =
Any Suggestions?

Maybe I am just hearing (or not hearing) things.

Thanks for your attention

Michael
