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 :
--------


Bb6/9-5  Em7/A  Dadd9    Bb6/9-5  Em7/A


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


Verse :
-------

Dm7                   Em7/A         Bb6/9-5
The big man arrives  disco dancers greet him

                        Dm7/G          Bb6/9-5
Plain clothes cops greet him   small town big man, fresh lipstick glistening


Dm7            Em7/A                Bb6/9-5
Sophomore jive beating frantic and snowblind


             Dm7/G                       Dadd9  Dadd9add4
Romantic and snowblind he says his crime belongs


Bb6/9-5                                     Em7/A
His eyes hold edith his left hand holds his right


                  Fmaj7sus2     Bb6/9-5    Em7/A  A9  Em7/A  A9
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 !
