Monolith

marc bolan used the same chord progressioon for a lot of songs. that being C, Am, F, G.

so the chord progression for the verse is:

C, Am, F, G.

On the “oh no” chorus deal. the progression is:

C, F, C, G. a few times toward the end of the song i think it probably goes ( C, F,
C, Am) during the chorus.

-after that it just kind of jumps back into the verse. it has all kinds of fancy solo’s. but.
i didnt bother taking the time to learn them. i might. So this is pretty easy, and
pretty right.
