I still havn't convinced myself 100% whether she uses the Dm7/G chord
AND the Gm11Gm11 chord - they're almost identical. In fact I think she
just uses the simpler shape (i.e Dm7/G) - but if you like the variation
you can use both shapes.


I'm going to be lazy again and not write out all the words (I can't remember
many of them) - but I'll write out a few phrases I can remember so you
know where the changes come.

Here are the main progressions :

Intro :
--------


Bb6/9-5 Em7/A Dadd9Dadd9  Bb6/9-5 Em7/A


The outtro uses the same three chords repeating over and over.

If I've mixed up words from several verses then forgive me !
As long as you see how the chords fit the words/tune then it
should be easy.


Enjoy !
