Chords

from "Five Leaves Left" (1969) [The other chord chart posted here has some errors, which I think I've corrected. I also tried to give a slightly more nuanced representation of the background orchestration. The sus chords are cru1cial for capturing the feel of the original tune.] Em Am B Em Em Am C Esus4 E
