all I have to say is you are one brave guy, as this is easily the most complicated song I have yet to see on this site. Or any other, for that matter. Maybe it was done using only Rundgren's chosen instrument, piano, not guitar, very tough, maybe George Benson could play it, but I cannot. Ugh, but thank you for trying, I hear a lot of the right notes in it, but the complicated chords, quick changes, Pfew! Great try, man, you know a lot more about close to non-existent chords than I do, or can recall, or am going to be able to master to make changes from one to the other. Too bad, one of my favorite songs when I got to college in '70, had no stereo, just an old an old clock radio, and WKDA FM, and this song kept coming on. A little later, that same clock radio awakened me to the news that Jimi was dead, hit me like a ton of bricks, still can play a little bit of Little Wing, and The Wind Cries Mary, but that guy was something else, too. Maybe if I try to switch the key, can find easier chords. I mean E flat maj 9th is not one of my go-to chords, that is for sure.
