Tuning: E A D G B E

Hey, so this is a really awesome R&B song, been done by loads of people but my favourite is this Little Esther Phillips version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9dje2rVl4g. It's not really a guitar song (there's a guitar part in the original, but also trumpets), but I've done my best to work out a good sounding guitar part that also mimics some of the other instruments from the original. I was getting frustrated never being able to find any chords for this song, so I hope this helps someone in a similar situation. Let me know what you think. Chords for this song are: C# (x.4.6.6.6.x) G#1 (4.6.6.5.4.4) G#2 (x.11.13.13.13.x) G#3 (x.6.6.5.x.x) F#1 (x.9.11.11.11.x) F#2 (2.4.4.3.x.x) B (x.2.4.4.4.x) All the chords are played in a sort of choppy rhythm, except where specified otherwise: listen to the track and it'll give you some idea of the main rhythm.
