Man, it's super close, awesome job. Just a couple tweaks. Here's what this last section of the chorus should do: Em7/G D/F# Fm6 G/C Then, on the bridge, it's BbM7, FM7, EbM7, A Mike Post was a genius, what an awesome chord progression!

Theres several modulations so refering to F dim - C6.....The use of the F dim (F Ab B)was used to underscore the mystery of “who could it be”...the C6 (CEGA) and theres a bunch of leading tones tht work nice. Also look at the chords preceeding it. He was establishing a chromatic walkdown. He also uses every White key Rooted chord(and F#) in that chorus.

In the dim to 6th thing something not flowing for me with the 6th, reckon it might be something else, but I'm giving five stars anyway because it is superb.
