Crystal Blue Persuasion chords by James Tommy

"Crystal Blue Persuasion"
                 (Tommy James - Mike Vale - Eddie Gray)


[Notes: 1) If you really want to get technical, the C#m7/A could be notated
as Amaj9.  2) Play C#m7 as xx6657 and Bm7 as xx4435.  3) This is Tommy
James' own favorite of all his/their singles; mine, too.]
