"I Know She Will"

This is just an incidental thing, but I realized recently that the opening guitar notes in "I Know She Will" are the same intervals as the NBC chime (I also realized that the song begins on an upbeat).

"I Know She Will" starts with the phrase E C# A.  The intervals are a sixth followed by a third.  It arpeggiates an inverted A major chord (and the song is in A major).

I found a section on NBC's array of websites that says their chime has the notes G E C, so while the intervals are the same, the pitches are different.  There's a video here (if you scroll down to 1929), but - inexplicably - those tones are C A F.
