Yeah, that's it, Fogerty. Great feature in Mojo the other month on the CCR story.

I think he was talking about riffs more than chords. Specifically the case was the chorus of "The Old Man is Down the Road" is a rip off of Run Through the Jungle. Fogerty won.

It's tough though isn't it. You're writing a ballad in a major key, you get to the bridge, its so easy to throw a minor fall in there but if you do it sounds like every other rock ballad ever written.
