Line Two: Repeat Bars #1 & #2, resolves with the 5 of the (F)

Did I get that right?


I have always related the notes back to the original key.... however, I see how you are looking at it.

Regarding the final measure.... F chord with a C root note..... By playing the F chord which yes... C note is the 5th of that chord which is the 4th in the key of C major..... you have a feeling of incompleteness, that there's more coming, which is the case.... On the other hand if you play a C maj chord in place of the F chord, you have a feeling of it's finished and has been completed.
