It is an extremely simple C-F-G progression, a three-chord blues in C--

Framed by a 4 chord "intro" and "outro" that ends on the dominant G, the
structure of the 2 "verses" of this short piece, with base chords bar by
bar, is:

C C C C F F C C G F C C
(the bars are in 12/8 time signature)

The key is C major with heavy harmonic use of the 6th, 9th and augmented
9th with suspended 4th, and heavy melodic use of the dominant 7th

I have been fascinated for some time with taking a minimalist, limited
structure and elaborating on the details and harmonic content. This is
my second "blues" study. The first has so many "passing chords" in the
transitions from C, F and G that it is hardly recognizable as a simple
three-chord blues in C major, but that's what it is. ;-)
