Notes: There are two F#m7's, denoted F#m7 and F#m7*. Some chords are easier to play
the root note with the thumb, marked 'T'.
The sequence "F#m7* G#m7#5 Am7 B74" in the chorus is best played by using the
second finger on the sixth string blocking the fifth string, barre strings 2,3 and
4 with the third finger, and slide the whole thing up, allowing the top open E string
to ring loud and clear.
Order: Verse lines 1, 2 & 3, chorus lines 4 & 5, verse lines 6, 7 & 8, repeat
chorus lines 4 & 5, bridge, chorus (Sax), chorus (vocal), outro.
