Goes to show, you don't ever know, watch each card you play and please play it slow

A             F#                 B7                 D7
If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears

A                            F#   B7                  D7
I hate to leave you sittin' there composing lonesome blues

Close enough. The Adim chord you show is different. I don't know the chord, but it's basically a D7 that's barred at the first fret to the 4th string(adding an Eflat). Raising those two beats a half-step makes all the difference in the world to the feel of the song. Other than that, you nailed it. Good job!

there should be an E after the F#m's and before the D7's
