Re: (TV) 'Helpless' & 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door'



Re "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "Helpless" - they're both three chords -
D... A... G ( or relative minor Em ) . It's hard to say  definitively who
had the prior art on that...maybe Jelly Roll Morton ? ;-) But I would admit
both songs are fairly similar. =- Russ
