The only spot I find trouble playing is the second to last Bb7 after the ascending "be-fore they get up"... I just skip it, holding onto the A for a push into the Dm. Could just be my style or lack there of... Also, I don't often play along with the track so I could be missing out on some hidden signal from the composer.
