ADDED TONE CHORD

An 'added tone chord' is a triadic chord with an extra "added" note, such as the added sixth. This includes chords with an added thirteenth and farther "extensions", but that do not include the intervening thirds as in an extended chord.
An added sixth chord ends songs including Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Lookin'", Carl Perkins' "Movie Magg" and "Blue Suede Shoes", Ronnie Hawkins' "Red Hot", Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music", Scotty Moore's accompaniment in Elvis Presley's "That's All Right (Mama)", and The Beatles' "She Loves You".
The thirds in a 'mixed third chord', a chord which includes as its third both the major and minor third (for a chord on C: C Eâ™­ E G), are usually separated by an octave or more.
An added tone chord with a tone added a perfect fourth below the root may suggest polytonality.
