Chord fingerings:

G#maj7/6: xx6563
A/D: x57655
B7#9#5: x21233
C/F: xx3553
D/G: xx5775
E/A: xx7997
F#7#9: 242355
G/C: x35433

(On the record, those X/Y chords are almost certainly played as a standard X
chord on guitar, with the bass covering the Y note; the fingerings suggested
above are for anyone who wants to replicate the overall sound of those chords
on a single guitar. And, incidentally, Laura Nyro was using major triads
with the fourth in the bass when Don and Walt were still playing frat parties
at Bard.)
