Is your organ at hand? A keys question about a note and chord.

[John Watt]

I'm trying to nail down the chord progression for a song I'm writing.
I'm citing Wagner, as Jimi Hendrix did a few times, as my influence here.
No piano is available. I'm hoping a keyboardist's left hand can help determine.

Here's what's probably going to be the chorus.
It works better for me on guitar, and singing, with E bass under A minor.
With a wider accentuation of notes on keyboards, how does this work for you?
The D minor entering on the second syllable of amaze? Does it work?
Chord notes progress right to left, low to high.

B.......C.......D...C...B......G..G .....E...E......D...D...C....C..... A.. E
Share these fee-ee-lings, a-maze our mind our bo-dies move us now
E minor............................ D minor..................................... A minor

Share these feelings, astonish me my body by coming down (same progression)

E minor, lowest chord: EBEGBE
D minor seventh variant, highest chord: ADACFE
A minor variant, step down from D minor variant: AEACEE

After the second vocal line, ending "by coming down"
A minor variant lowers to a G major variant: GDGBDE
G major variant lowers to a D minor 7th variant: ADFADE
D minor variant lowers to an F major 7th variant: FCFACE

Stately, not ponderous, but chords meld to sound more airy.
The E on the E string "drone" should meld chords, a softer sound.

Hmmm! I see ten views, but no replies.
If anyone thinks I'm explaining things too simply,
I'm just trying to allow inexperienced English users to understand.
Maybe I should message one of my Inuit friends to try throat-singing it.
A little oxygen deprivation goes a long way.
A lot of oxygen deprivation takes you even further.

I know there are members here who can mentally suss this out.

My answer won't help you. I haven't the foggiest, old boy.

It took almost a day to get back, and thanks for leaving your own note,
GoneBaroque. If it was a harpsichord piece, would that be better for you?

Yes, that was last Friday, now it's Monday, with 51 more views and no musical feedback.
I think, and still do, that these notes and chords, even if played as Em, Dm and Am,
are easy, even if I feel it's one of my stronger melody lines with words.

I know I'm not standing behind the maestro's music stand, batons at the waiting,
and for sure I'm not sitting in front of a keyboard, home upright or cathedral pipe organ.
teddy asked about me putting up some of my music here, what I've never done anywhere online,
and I thought getting a melody out for the musical perusal and attempts at play for any viewers here,
was a nicer, more inclusive thing to do.

61 views means people are looking... looking... maybe not interested without a booking.
"Share these feelings", better than a free visual link.
Can you visualize "The Great Wall of China" more than "Hadrian's Wall"?
Just testing your ability to freely visualize. Can you compositionalize?
