Notes:

The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major
third in them. They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th
and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root
to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible
finger reach:

Gm7 555766 Fm7 333544 Ebm7 111322

Cm7 111111 Dm7 111111
