I still havn't convinced myself 100% whether she uses the Dm7/G chord
AND the Gm11 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 :
--------
-5 /9-5
The outtro uses the same three chords repeating over and over.
Verse :
-------
The big man arrives disco dancers greet him
Plain clothes cops greet him small town big man, fresh lipstick glistening
Sophomore jive beating frantic and snowblind
Romantic and snowblind he says his crime belongs
His eyes hold edith his left hand holds his right
What does that hand desire that he grips it so tight
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 !
Howard
