Hi, Great transcription. The only change I would suggest is changing the C#dim to Em6. Let me know what you think? End

+26

In other words: The first part (Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7) is summer The second part (C#m7b5 F#7 Bm) is autumn ;-)

Wrong the C#dim is a C#m7b5 (build of the seventh tone in major or second in minor). C#ø is NOT dim. The first part (Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7) is in D major The second part (C#m7b5 F#7 Bm) is in B harmonic minor
