   Do not be fooled by the apparent innocense of this particular thread.   
      
   Everyone already knows the chords are G C and D.   
      
   When people on these particular newsgroups refer to "chords" they are   
   referring to the "chords" they use to string people of other races and   
   musical styles up and the "chords" of wood they go through making those   
   pretty, little, burning crosses.  "Sheet music" refers to a nocturnal   
   activity in full KKK regalia with accoutrements.   
      
   The actual key a tune is in is determined, obviously, by the weight of the   
   people being lynched.  Obviously the heavier the lynchee, the tighter the   
   "string," and thus, the higher the key of the tune.   
      
   Watching the "darkees" "dance" at the end of their ropes in the flickering   
   firelight, as they plucked those mournful "chords" in the earliest bluegrass   
   music, was where first was heard the now notorious expression,   
      
   "They sure got riddim!"
