	Farther down the path ....

Verse 4:

N.B.: I suspect that this is actually played in D on a harpsichord tuned
      down a semi-tone (i.e., A=415):


	D  [D C B   A]  C/G   Am7
	/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
	F#m7-5 Dm6   Gm7  C7sus4 C7
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
	Am7   Dm7    A/E   D/F#   A/E   D/F#   A/E
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /

	[L.H: F G A B C]

	D  [D C B   A]  C/G   Am7
	/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
	F#m7-5 Dm6   Gm7  C7sus4 C7
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
	F/A  F#m7-5  C/G   G/B
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  / 
	F/C    Dm    F/C    Dm
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't
Made For These Times" soundtrack:


	C  [C Bb A  G] Bb/F   Gm7
	/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
	Em7-5 Cm6   Fm7  Bb7sus4 Bb7
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
	Gm7   Cm7    G/D   C/E    G/D   C/E    G/D
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /

	[L.H: Eb F G A Bb]

	C  [C Bb A  G] Bb/F   Gm7
	/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
	Em7-5 Cm6   Fm7  Bb7sus4 Bb7
	/  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
	Eb/G  Em7-5  Bb/F   F/A
	  /  /  /  /   /  /  /  / 
	Eb/Bb   Cm   Eb/Bb   Cm
	  /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /
