G  E7sus4  C  D7sus

Repeat main progression to fade.

Chords:
G:        320003
E7sus4:   020200
C:        032010
D7sus:    000210
Em:       022000
Bm7:      x24232
Am7:      x02010

Fill:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|--2s4s2--0--2----------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|


There is an electric guitar in the end playing a simple G (xxx033).
Most of the chords during the main progression will sound better
if you stick to the middle four strings, or add a high or low G.

That's how I play my favourite Randy Newman song. Enjoy
