Hi all,

Just had a quick play through on the guitar to figure out the chord
names. Here's what I reckon (based on Sue's chords from the jmdl guitar
site):

NB: I use "b" for flat, and distinguish "add9" from "9". I've also put
the chord spelling in brackets after the chord name in case there are
any ambiguities. 

These chords are in the actual key of the recording (F) - hope you can
transpose them down to the key of D OK.


Intro:
-------

x55040 = Bbm6add9 (1 b3 6 9)
x22010 = Gmadd4   (1 b3 4)
000210 = Fadd4    (1 3 4 5)
000200 = F        (1 3 5)
000000 = Fadd9    (1 3 5 9)

Verse:
-------

999999 = Dadd9    (1 3 5 9)
777777 = Cadd9    (1 3 5 9)
999999 = Dadd9    (1 3 5 9)
000033 = F9(no 3rd) (1 5 7 9)
555555 = Bbadd9   (1 3 5 9)
x44030 = Am7      (1 b3 5 7)
x55040 = Bbm6add9 (1 b3 6 9)
x22010 = Gmadd4   (1 b3 4)
000210 = Fadd4    (1 3 4 5)
000200 = F        (1 3 5)
000000 = Fadd9    (1 3 5 9)


Scat section:
--------------

444444 = Aadd9 (1 3 5 9)
222222 = Gadd9 (1 3 5 9)
x55040 = Bbm6add9 (1 b3 6 9)
x22010 = Gmadd4   (1 b3 4)
000210 = Fadd4    (1 3 4 5)
000200 = F        (1 3 5)
000000 = Fadd9    (1 3 5 9)


The Fadd4/F/Fadd9 sequence has some very subtle changes - not sure how
to tackle this on the piano. It might work better to play Fsus4 to F (1
4 5  to  1 3 5) - the dissonance you get with the Fadd4 chord (3rd
against the 4th) is nice, but you barely hear it in the original.
