It was hard work, especially because of chord progressions I'm not used to hearing... In any case, enjoy.

Oh, and if you play and record the song, e.g. on YouTube, send me the link! I'd love to watch it played.

1. The opening chord is definitely Bbmaj7 (also called A#maj7), which you can play easily as: 6x776x. Or you can play the barre chord: 687766, but I say stick with the first one, which is a typical jazzy finger position.

2. The next chord is F, but I don't play it as a barre chord. Instead, I use my thumb to fret the 6E string: 1x321x. This is so I can use my pinky to hammer on the 3G string from 2 to 3.

3. It goes back to Bbmaj7.

4. Next is C7 using a jazzy fingering position: 8x898x. Use your thumb to play the 6E string.

5. F from step 2 probably, and then the quick walk-up...

6. The walk-up sounds like just a string or two being played, but since I'm an acoustic guitarist, I would play it (following the bassline) as Gm7: 3x333x, to Am7: 5x555x, to F5: x-8-10-10-x-x.

7. Barre chord C: 8-10-10-9-x-x.

8. Another walk played as A: x0222x (strum twice), to Asus4: x0223x (strum once), to barre C: x3555x, to barre Dm: x57765.

9. Barre C: x35553

10. Barre Bb: x13331

11. Back up to the barre C, back down to the barre Bb, back up to the barre C.

12. A: x02220

13. D: xx0232, or barre D: x57775

14. Bb: x13331

15: Csus4: x33010, to C: x32010. Or, you can play the barre versions from x35563 to x35553.

16. F: 133211, to C: x35553, to A: 577655, to Dm: x57765, to D#dim: x6787x. Sorry dude, I'm unsure about the D#dim -- for sure the bass is a D# but the rest of the notes are iffy. It's the closest I can get. If you think it sounds right, or if you figure it out, definitely let me know!

17. Gm: 355333, to F/A: x0321x, to Bb: x13331, to C: x35553 --- and strum it over and over with the circular arm motion hahaha.

Awesome! So going on from yours, monol0g, I think I can help fill in the details at the end there.

So from the start we get:

6x776x
1x321x > 1x331x > 1x321x
6x776
8x898x
133211 Barre
3x333x
5x555x
x81010 xx
x3555x
575655 (Another Barre chord, just lift your pinky for this one) > 575755 (so with your pinky lifted off use it to hammer on the 7th fret of the 3rd (G) string )
x57565 *
x35553 *
x13331 *
x35553 *
x1333x *
x155xx (Bit of a stretch here, I use my pinky to cover the 3rd and 4th strings. 1st and 2nd get muted in the process. For me at least.)
577655 Barre chord
x5777x
x1333x
x3556x > x3555x
133211 Barre
x3555x *
x4222x *
x57565 *
x6x56x *
353333 *
5x356x *
x1333x
x3555x (The cool windmill part!)

I believe that's it!

* I have the band score book with me so I pulled a few chords that were used in the actual song for it. It might not be the actual chords she uses in that little sequence but it sounds like them.

Much love to monol0g for helping me figure this out!
