Chords

(Loughnane) For the intro, I strum the first six chords once and then make-up my own kind of rhythm. Also, sliding up the fretboard from Am and A#m a little sounds like the recording. It would help to play all of the chords using barre chords, and a wah-wah pedal is needed. Intro: Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Gm9 Bbm Cm Am9 |Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | | |Fmaj7 | |B9 |C9 |F#m9 Gmaj7| |F#m9 Gmaj7| | |F#maj7 | | F#maj7 Gmaj7|Amaj7 For the verses, I play a strumming pattern of: w w x w u x u u x w u w with w(down), u(up), and x(muted) Verse 1:
Amaj7                      C#m7                          Bm7
     The feeling was clear,     clear as a blue sky on a sunny day

               G#m7  C#9
Everything was you,  oo ooo

Dmaj7                           C#m7                            Bm7
     'Cause no one made me feel,    the way I felt with you, oh oohh

        C9        F#m7      Gmaj7 
Call on me 'cause  I   love you

    F#m7    Gmaj7   F#m7    Gmaj7        F#maj7
You know  I do, you love me too.  oo ooo oooo
For verse 2, the strumming pattern stays the same, but for the first D chord, I play: w u w u w x w x w x (twice) Verse 2:
F#maj7 Gmaj7  Amaj7                     C#m7                              Bm7
                    Then came a change,       when I said I would soon be leavin' you

                G#m7  C#9
Nothing else to do,   oooh

Dmaj7                    C#m7                            Bm7
     But please remember I'll never lose the thought of you

        C9         F#m7      Gmaj7 
Call on me 'cause  I   love you

    F#m7    Gmaj7   F#m7    Gmaj7        F#maj7
You know  I do, you love me too.  oo ooo oooo
I ad-lib on rhythm for the instrumental. It's difficult to hear the guitar over the brass and percussion anyways.
F#maj7
Woa wo wo wo wo wo wo
|Bm7 | |Amaj7 | | |Cmaj7 | |Gmaj7 | | |Bbmaj7 | |Am7 | | |Cm7 | |Gmaj7 | | |Gmaj7 | Gmaj7 Abmaj7| Same strum pattern as verse 1 Verse 3:
Bbmaj7                   Dm7                         Cm7
     You've got to find      someone else to somehow take my place

                    Am7     D9
Share his life with you, oo ooo

Ebmaj7                     Dm7                       Cm7
But if you need a friend,     you can always count on me

         Db9       Gm7     Abmaj7
Count on me 'cause I  love you,

    Gm7    Abmaj7
You know I do, 

     Gm7     Abmaj7    Gmaj7
 you love me too,   oo ooo
Instrumental 2:|Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | | |Am7 | |Cm7 | |Gmaj7 | |

You can count on me, ooh oh (baby)
You can count on me (repeat until done)
