isn't it a relatively simple chord progression, shifted 2 beats?

JESUS! You mean you're not WHITE????? Fer Chrissakes, I almost LIKED you for a minute there - before I found out the ugly truth, of course. And remember, I said ALMOST. Man, that's one thing I hate about the internet - you think you know a guy, and then....Oh, well, better late than never. ;)


P.S. - THINGUTTERS: Can you teach an old Irish vampire how to get a tan? For THAT, I'd pay you $10...
