Shelvin Rock

This is an A modal tune. That means key of A (with chords A and E7 as expected) plus a G chord. The first part goes back and forth between A and G major chords. The second part has only A and E7 chords. There is one extra measure of A chord between parts 1 and 2, and that makes this tune crooked and confusing at first.
