"Wendy"

Yester-day, I figured out the organ solo in "Wendy."  I got a few chords here and there, and while I didn't get a complete section of the chord progression, I figured out enough to notice a small feature.  Under the third line in each verse, the chords move from D minor to G major.  The song is in F major, so the B note in that G major is an accidental.  Musically, this provides a feeling of foreignness that matches the sentiment in the lines "I never thought a guy could cry," "I can't picture you with him," and "The farthest thing from my mind."
