Which as the article states is astonishingly similar to the Hollies song. Pick up a guitar and strum that progression in the rather obvious way that it appears on either record (like someone who is rather less than a virtuoso). Now add some words so the syllables fit with the strumming pattern...If you are not now singing that dreary melody you are a true musical genius.
