This arrangement uses the beginning parts from the album version but the verses and
bridge are based on
the acoustic version since it was the clearest version of the form to transcribe.
This song starts very atonally and has some improvised parts in the beginning.
I am going to start where the chords begin.
Some chord tabs for reference:
High voicing major 7 chords: Connan uses these a lot in his first album.
Ex. Amaj7: 5 x x 6 9 5
A11: This is one of my interpretations of the bridge section, Connan plays a variety of
things in that
section on other recordings, but i wrote it like this because it sounds good to me. If
it doesnt sound good
to you, take the same progression (G to A) but play the high voicings I mentioned before
and that is something
that Connan uses a lot in live recordings ive seen.
A11: 5 5 5 6 5 5
