Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4

C: x 3 2 0 1 0
Eb: x 6 8 8 8 x
Em: x x 2 4 5 3
G: 3 2 0 0 0 3
of note: of course, this is a piano song, so this is, at best,
a bad hack transcription. the F7 isn't the usual F-flatted 7th that
you might see ( 0 3 3 2 1 0 ) so be careful with that.
i play the intro Bb by hitting the three higher strings first, then the
root, like this:
E| 1
b| 3 3 3 /4 1
G| 3 3 4 /5 2
D| 3 3 5 /6 3
A| 1 5 /6 3
E| 1 3 /4 1
(altho the song doesn't have that low F (E string, first fret,) i play it
in unison with the Bb to make it sound thicker.)
