Chords

From "Takin' It to the Streets"(1976) When I first bought that album, I listened to this song over and over again. Throughout the song, each instrument plays intricately. I wrote the code based on the E.Piano. It may be easier to play if you think of the first half of each chorus and [Interlude] as Bb major. Thank you for viewing! [Intro] N.C.
