Chords

Hey everyone. This is my first attempt at a tab, so, gather what you will from that. is a great song and it's a shame that you cannot find this tab anywhere. So here goes. free to update this as there are probably some things missing. I don't know if these the right chord voicings, but they sound ok, at least when you are playing on your own. This is in 3/4 Dm X02210 Dm/F X32210 F XX0232 F 320033 Am X24432 Am 022000 F X30210 Cmaj7 xx0032 A 022100 Intro

He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in." There you go. When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/F# for the Gmaj7...It sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell the organ over it. Anyways, enjoy!
