 Newton's version is in A major, and uses primarily A, D, and E chords with an occasional F# minor.But in the introduction, outro, and interludes between verses, a rarely heard (in popular music) pedal point is used in the bass and rhythm guitars, under changing chords in the upper instruments (A, D, E, A).Also of interest is the use of a descending parallel pattern of the chords D, C# minor, B minor, and A in the Bridge, which is also atypical of popular music from that era.
