Victims Of Comfort chords by Mo Keb

Victims of Comfort by Keb' Mo' (off his self-titled debut album)
Transcribed by Gilan Israel

Keb' Mo' is a real gem on the scene of living, youngish bluesmen.  This is
just one of dozens of his great songs.  I encourage all you blues fans to
buy his albums, learn his tunes, and share with the class.  I can't include
all the lyrics for copyright reasons, but you can find them easily enough.
This file is entirely my work, based on my hearing of the song.

This is my rough attempt at chording by ear.  I would be very pleased to be
corrected.  I'm giving you one verse, one chorus, and the bridge.  The
other choruses are slightly different lyrically, and the other verse is,
well, another verse.  Listen to the song for rhythms and the little licks
he throws in everywhere.

Basic forms:
   D  Bm7  G F#m7  A   F
E--2 --2 --3 --2 --0 --1
B--3 --3 --0 --2 --2 --1
G--2 --2 --0 --2 --2 --2
D--0 --4 --0 --2 --2 --3
A--x --2 --2 --4 --0 --3
E--x --x --3 --2 --x --1

Variations:
In the D chord in the chorus there's a slide (from D5 to E5/D?) which I
play like this:
E--5/7--7--5-5
B--3/5--5--3-3
G--2/4--4--2-2
D--0-------0-0
A-------------
E-------------

I pepper the Bm7 with some B7sus4 and Bm7/A action.  Here are just the
chords:
  B7sus4 Bm7/A
E---2   --2
B---5   --3
G---2   --2
D---4   --4
A---2   --0
E---x   --x

And I vary the G in the chorus with a bit of G/F#:
E--3
B--0
G--0
D--0
A--x
E--2

The D the bridge sounds like an actual slide, possibly on a second guitar.
I do:
E---2/10
B---2/10
G---3/11
D-------
A-------
E-------

There's a nice quiet lick at the end, but you can figure it out.
