On the album, the song is carried by electric piano, with electric
guitar and Hammond organ being decorative. If you want to play it by
yourself, and you're not totally confident in the key of F (rolls eyes
condescendingly), you may find it easier to play in D with a capo on
the 3rd fret. In this case, F becomes D, Bb/C becomes G/A (x00033), C
becomes A, Bb becomes G, Am becomes F#m, A/C# becomes F# (244322),
Dm becomes Bm, Gm7 becomes Em7, F/A becomes D/F# (200232), and Eb/Bb
becomes C/G.
Anyway, back to what IS on the album. The guitar, piano and organ are
pretty well mixed together, and so it's quite hard to pick out what
the guitar is doing. Hence the following transcription is approximate,
and any repeating sections will probably be played with different
variations each time - but what's here should give you a fair idea.
Please don't try to play it note-for-note.
Comments and corrections welcome....
