It's a perfect demonstration of the genre's ability to tell a story with both its words and its music. Musically, though, it's pretty straightforward, sticking mostly to just four chords and a simple diatonic melody, so you'd think it'd be easy to figure out what key it's in, right? I mean, yeah. Obviously, it's in C major. Everyone knows that. But maybe there's a bit more to it than that? I dunno, just hear me out.
