[edit] Just plain wrong

I removed the following text:

Remarkably, Gallagher was able to use the same two chords (Em G) in the verse to Don't Believe the Truth's "Meaning of Soul" and create a completely different effect - the song is an aggressive rocker rather than a tender melody.

Meaning of Soul's verse uses G major and E major not E minor. No wonder the Liam creates a 'remarkably different sound', they're not the same chords, not to mention the chorus which has 2 new chords. Also "Songbird" has a 3rd chord played between the G and the Em, something with an F# in the root i think (not sure i haven't played it). --Heavy Man 02:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC

You can play Meaning with an Em and it sounds right, or close enough. Also, I don't think Liam uses the GF# deely. Just a point.--Crestville 10:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Reply Pretty sure he does use the G/F# chord, i tried it and it sounds spot on + i recall Noel describing it as "just three chords". Anyway, sounding "right" or ok is the same as being right; its E major.--Heavy Man 05:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

You mean "not the same", right?--Crestville 11:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
