	Some people simply don't hear the rapid upwards tonic drift until it's pointed out to them. Even after becoming aware of it, it still feels incredibly jarring to go from the ^^V chord to a I chord. The ear insists on hearing the ^^V chord as a V chord and not a vbVI chord, and it insists on the ^^I chord coming next.		Some people simply don't hear the rapid upwards tonic drift until it's pointed out to them. Even after becoming aware of it, it still feels incredibly jarring to go from the ^^V chord to a I chord. The ear insists on hearing the ^^V chord as a V chord and not a vbVI chord, and it insists on the ^^I chord coming next.

			The vocals are very close to the bass line:

			Just a four-chord song (5 5 5 v3 1) (rhythm: 6 & 7 8 1)<br>
			Won't you sing along (1 1 1 vb3 4) (6 & 7 8 1) <br>
			But before too long (4 4 4 v3 vb3) (6 & 7 8 1) <br>
			You'll hear that something's wro-ong (vb3 b5 vb3 vb7 vb7 vb7 ^^5) (& 6 & 7 8 1 &)<br>
