Neil or any TG'er,
I have been playing Jerry Garcia's version of It's All Over Now Baby Blue (Dylan). The song Starts in A, then repeats .... to G... to D. 2X. Then..... Em... to G ..... to D. 2X. But then on the "Lookout All the Saints are Coming Through!" it jumps to F#. Here is my Question...... I think the song is in the Key of D, but F# is not in the key. How does it fit in?
Chords in a Key question. (It's All Over Now Baby Blue)
Correct me if I am wrong - but F# is the 6th note in the A-Major scale. And all are contained in A-Minor scale (A & G are also in A-Blues scale - pentatonic). The song may be in key of A - don't know the song so can't help there. I am not great in theory so others will correct me if I am off base here lol.

Ypu're right the F# is not in the ket of D.
It should be F#m.
Song writers sometimes mess around with the chords in a key and change them from minor to major and vice versa.
That's probably what happened here.
It may have just been a case that he prefered they way it sounded with the chord as a major.
If you were playing a lead over this chord progressions you would have to take into account the out of key chord when it came along.

Mark, Thanks I think I understand. It seems strange though that in music there are all of these rules, but at the same time they can just be thrown out anytime!
Scott, I don't think it can be in A because the 1,4 & 5 Chords in A are A,D & E and when E shows up in this song it is Em not E major.
Thanks for the reply's, Beaker.

Thanks Jim.
Yeah, Bob Dylan play's the tune one way, which is cool. But I have been working on Jerry Garcia's way which is in a different key and is in standard tuning and has no capo. Both ways are good though. My theory question would be the same if I referenced the Dylan variation as well. Just in a different key.
