Annotationen

Am Ende des Songs, wo es heisst: «Gloria...in te domine» geht die Akkordfolge: I – IV/IV – IV – I. Diese Akkordfigur – double plagal progression (Timothy Koozin «» (Analyzing Recorded Music, p. 165) – teilt der Song mit Gloria und der extended Coda von Hey Jude. Der A-Akkord ist eine Sekundärsubdominante (IV/IV). Er kann auch als Akkord im mixolydischen Modus interpretiert werden.
