Artist: Pet Shop Boys
Song: After The Event
Album: B-Side of Did You See Me Coming? (2009)
The first Bb in the chorus following Verse 2 also sounds good as Bbm.
The backing vocals slide down from D natural.
The Fm6 chord is meant to read 'Fm6/9/D'
and the Dm --> Dm7b5 chord movement at the end is basically the same as the Ddim earlier,
just arranged for drama / acoustic instruments.
