Hi all,

I don't run across them often in pop music, but when I do - I'm always amazed at how well they fit in the spot the composer gave them. I'm sure if overused, they would get boring quickly. I don't play a lot of older standards, where I think you find more of them. (lol - define "older" - say 40's and 50's big band jazz standard stuff - older than the old ones I'm using as examples )

Recently - while learning a few older pop songs, I came acroos these chords in :
1.) Billy Joel - Moving Out (...saving his pennies for some day...), The Stranger (during intro after modulation to E major before returning to Em)
2.) Elton John - The Border Song (during the words "Holy Moses")

Now these are the chords listed in the transcription books I'm using - but they sound pretty correct and true to the original to me.

Do any of you out there put these chords in your songs, or have some favorites that use these chords tastefully ?
