The Lyrics
Tune “Heart and Soul” skips ii
in the chord line.
Therefore I-vi-IV-V* ensue—
them I’m plyin’
on keyboard, plyin’.
This ain’t Andalusian**
that I sit and pound.
There’s no damn confusion:
that progression meanders straight down.
But “Heart and Soul” don’t do
that with chord line,
you’ll find.
There’s no ii
iii’s skipped too
vii too
ain’t in view in this sound.
There’s many airs
like this one you’ll see
that come around
and yearly
post-“Heart and Soul” up to
the present time.
