it's a classic rock progression
written in Bb Major, I believe
Bb Major, G minor, F Major -- descending
put the D in the bottom for BbM
Bb in the bottom for Gm
and A in the bottom for FM
(hearing it in my head)
someone will correct me if i'm wrong

I think you're thinking of "Purple Rain," which is in Bb Major and follows that basic progression, albeit with standard bass notes and an Eb at the end.

"The Beautiful Ones" is in F, and the basic progression is:

Intro:
FMaj7 - Bb6 2x

Verse:
F - Bb 4x

Refrain:
Ab/C - Eb7 - Ab 2x

The outro is pretty much fmin - Db - Eb

Thanks, Ice9s. It's been awhile since I played them, so yeah, I may have been mixing them -- FMaj, BbMaj.
