Part of the chord progression of this is the same as that of "She's Coming Home." Specifically, the part that Rod Argent took from Herbert Howells: E major, E major 7th, C# minor, B major. In "She's Coming Home," that's all part of the verse, but in "Celebration," the E major, E major 7th, C# minor part serves as a transition to a different section that starts with B major. (For the guitar part in "She's Coming Home," it's easier to play a G# minor, which is pretty close to an inverted E major 7th, but here I did play an E major 7th because a G# minor sounded weird.) Aside from that part, the chords are really easy and relatively few. Most of the song is just five chords.
I moved my recording set-up, and I'm still trying to get things working again, so this might sound a bit rougher than normal.
This is a new one in the catalogue too. I haven't even written about "Celebration" before, which I'm kind of surprised about.
