PHJim Chord Req: Why Requests for chords? (67* d) RE: Chord Req: Why Requests for chords? 11 Mar 14

Chord progressions are not copyrightable. Many songs share the same changes.
They're Red Hot, Alice's Restaurant, Bring It On Home and other songs all share the same progression. Five Foot Two and Please Don't Talk About Me are both under copyright and share the same changes.

I Am Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes, Wild Side Of Life, It Wasn't God Who Made Honkey Tonk Angels and Great Speckled Bird all share not only the same chords, but the same tune.
