if you play 'amazing grace' in minor chords it becomes 'house of the rising sun'.

 Funny how a "minor" shift makes such a radical change, huh?
From a House of God song to a house of ill repute song at the drop of a hat. haha
Funny how the latter also has a line to God:
"It's been the ruin of many a poor boy & God I know I'm one."
Love those simple ol' Classic tunes.

I can see this one making it into the courtroom. Frigid Pink recorded House of the Rising Sun back in 1970 and they are still fighting with the Animals over the rights to the arrangement 37 years later :o
