Chord Of The Week 14/2/15 Valentine Special - The "I'm Not In Love" chord

bigjon

The track "I'm not in love" by 10cc (youtube vid at the end of this post) starts with an instantly recognisable chord, which seemed appropriate for Valentine's Day today. The first chord is

A/B: x2x220

which is followed by a B chord x2x442. Instant smooch for all you lovers out there!

The A/B chord could also be interpreted as a B11 (no 3rd) - the third could easily be added in x21220 but it is nearly always omitted from an 11th chord as it tends to clash with the 11th, in the case the open E on the top string.
