"I Love You"

---&---

I just tried figuring out the guitar part for "I Love You."  So far, I have only the verses, but I noticed something interesting.  They're based on the chords A minor, Asus4, F major (7th?), and F major 6 (and E major).  Those same chords also make up an entire section in "Lula Lula" (from the New World album, which I think is too often neglected).  In "Lula Lula," the "Hold my hand..." sections are based on these same chords, but in a slightly different order.  "I Love You" has them as |: A minor / Asus4 / A minor :| |:F major / F major 6 / F major :|, and they're in almost the opposite order in "Lula Lula" -  |: Asus4 / A minor :| |: F major 6 / F major :|.

Both songs are - perhaps not surprisingly - in the same key (A minor) and written by Chris White.
