	D  [D C B   A]  C/G   Am7
	/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /

	F#m7-5 Dm6   Gm7  C7sus4 C7

	Am7   Dm7    A/E   D/F#   A/E   D/F#   A/E
	 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /

...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" soundtrack:

	C  [C Bb A  G] Bb/F   Gm7
