Here is a chord progression: G C G D7 G C etc. Here is another: Fm7 Bbm7 Eb7 Ab Db G7 etc. If you have a piano handy, play these chords and see if you can recognize what songs they belong to. Pretty hard to tell, isn't it? That's because there are two elements missing -- the melody (tune of the song) and the time.
