Right, 'cause it's normally A flat, but now we're playing A, so we have a sharp four minor which goes to our five-seven chord, our B flat seven, which is a nice way to bring us back to our one chord. E, F, G, A, B flat, right there, B flat seven. So if we go through and look at that on the actual bass, here's our one, so here's our sharp one to our sharp four., to our five. And you hear how that wants to go back to one, to bring us to the top of the tune. So again we got sharp one, sharp four, to five, to one, which is the top of the tune, so now we have all the roots down for our entire piece in E flat."
