At the end of the choruses the progression up from
Dmaj7 to Emaj7 has a D#maj7 in the middle.
It is only suggested by the vocal harmonies and the
guitar chord isn't played. If you do want to add it,
you could use this voicing:
 
D#maj7 = xx1333
 
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
 
F#m11 = x44200   Dmaj7   = xx0222
Aadd9 = 577600   Emaj7 * = 066400
Emaj7 = 021100
 
^ = Emphasise the beat  h = Hammer-on note

[Verse 1]
Emaj7
Muskrat, muskrat, candlelight,
Emaj7
Doing the town, and doing it right,
       F#m11                Emaj7
In the evening, it's pretty pleasing,
Emaj7
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam,
Emaj7
 Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land,
         F#m11                 Emaj7
And they shimmy and Sammy's so skinny
 
[Chorus]
         Aadd9             Emaj7 *           F#m11
And they whirled, and they twirled, and they tangoed,
Aadd9       Emaj7 *        F#m11
Singing and jingling their jango,
Aadd9             Emaj7 *    F#m11
Floating like the heavens a - bove,
                 Dmaj7      Dmaj7       Emaj7
It looks like ...muskrat ...love-------------!

[Verse 2]
Emaj7
Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese,
Emaj7
Sammy says to Susie, 'Honey, hey,...
   Emaj7                     F#m11
...Would you please ...be my missus?'
                            Emaj7
And she says, yes, with her kisses,
             Emaj7
And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes,
             Emaj7
             Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes,
(Rubbing her toes-----!)
        F#m11                     Emaj7
As they wriggle and Sue starts to giggle
 
[Chorus]
         Aadd9             Emaj7 *           F#m11
And they whirled, and they twirled, and they tangoed,
Aadd9       Emaj7 *        F#m11
Singing and jingling their jango,
Aadd9             Emaj7 *     F#m11
Floating like the heavens a - bove,
                 Dmaj7      Dmaj7      Emaj7
It looks like ...muskrat ...love------------!
