version 2
Notes:
This was originally recorded by Gerry Rafferty in the key of D minor. I have tabbed it
in A minor. If you wish to play in Dm then set capo to fret 5.
The Cmaj7 is a passing chord and is played on the just the fourth beat of the bar i.e.
¦C C C Cmaj7¦Am Am Am Am¦ etc.
The Dsus4 chord is played on the first two beats of the bar ¦D D D D¦Dsus4 Dsus4 D D¦.
Consider it optional as I'm not sure Gerry Rafferty played it but I think it sounds good.
