John, I remember seeing Rob perform this at Notre Dame and I found, after some further goofing around with my guitar, that this same chord sequence is also used in:
Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry
Don't Think Twice - Bob Dylan
Oh Darling - The Beatles
Smile A Little Smile For Me - The Flying Machine
Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver
Down Under - Men at Work/Colin Hay
Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles
It's actually a variation of I iv IV V - a common progression in 50s songs like "Earth Angel" in Back to the Future. Cool eh?
