Tablature is mostly (but not exclusively) seen for reticulate stringed instruments, in which environment it is commonly titled journalism for brief (except for lute tablature).
It is ofttimes utilised for the guitar, bass, lute, archlute, theorbo, angélique, mandora, gallichon, and vihuela, but in generalisation it crapper be utilised for some reticulate instrument, including ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and viola da gamba, as substantially as some liberated wood aerophones much as the harmonica.

I still havn't convinced myself 100% whether she uses the Dm7/G chord
AND the Gm11 chord - they're almost identical.  In fact I think she
just uses the simpler shape (i.e Dm7/G) - but if you like the variation
you can use both shapes.


I'm going to be lazy again and not write out all the words (I can't remember
many of them) - but I'll write out a few phrases I can remember so you
know where the changes come.

Here are the main progressions :



Intro :
--------


Bb6/9-5  Em7/A  Dadd9    Bb6/9-5  Em7/A  


The outtro uses the same three chords repeating over and over.


Verse :
-------

Dm7                   Em7/A         Bb6/9-5  
The big man arrives  disco dancers greet him

                        Dm7/G          Bb6/9-5
Plain clothes cops greet him   small town big man, fresh lipstick glistening


Dm7            Em7/A                Bb6/9-5 
Sophomore jive beating frantic and snowblind


             Dm7/G                       Dadd9  Dadd9add4
Romantic and snowblind he says his crime belongs


Bb6/9-5                                     Em7/A  
His eyes hold edith his left hand holds his right


                  Fmaj7sus2     Bb6/9-5    Em7/A  A9  Em7/A  A9
What does that hand desire that he grips it so tight




If I've mixed up words from several verses then forgive me !
As long as you see how the chords fit the words/tune then it
should be easy.



Enjoy !


Howard
