I tried to learn this song from the record for around half an hour and then I nearly smashed my guitaur into the wall, then I played this, this is pretty cool. I dunno if it's same as Al plays it but it's way better than what I had. Onya Andrew -Pattie

chords are just about right; need to listen to song to hear voicing, though

The first chord is a Gmi9, not a Bbmaj7. They are more or less the same chord, but you can hear the G in the bass which would make it more the Gmi rather than the Bb. And the Bbmi9 in the verse should be Bbmi9/Db. Otherwise good stuff
