Maybellene
Maybellene starts with the chorus, then verse, then chorus, then verse, then chorus, then solo and so on. The song is organized cause every time the chorus comes around he uses 12 bar blues. When the verse comes around he uses one chord. He wants to make space for his lyrics, which is why he uses one chord. He repeats the same words in the chorus, and he can have more harmony because he is saying the same words over and over again. The lyrics change every verse which helps progress the storyline. The contrast is the lyrics keep changing on the verse but it stays the same on the chorus because it gives us a story. The whole song is in verse chorus form. The similarity is the rhythm section.
