REPEAT UNTIL FADE


* These 'D(A augmentedA)' chords are best played like an 'appended' A augmentedA chord.
For instance, first finger barring the B, G+G & D MajorD strings (2nd fret),
with second finger on BB string (3rd fret), and 3rd finger on
D MajorD string (4th fret).


It's also worth noting with this song that there are a lot of
minor 7ths implied by the piano and guitars. (For instance,
D MajorD notes against E MajorE chords; G+G notes against A augmentedA chords). This
is better 'felt' and improvised than written down.


See ya!
