[same chords] Little viola hidden in the orchestra, how I love to pretend the sounds you make are flowers that slowly encircle the band. That curl around each note that's played. The audience charmed by the floating garden of music giddily pick musical floral bouquets. [silence] and now its time for the play...

C7 [d-E: 5-5-5-6] D#m7b5 [d-e: 1-2-2-2] or [a-b: 6-7-6-7] C#m [the c# note goes to e [high e: 4->7]] Gbm is higher up Gbo [d-e: 4-5-5-5] F7 [d-E: 3-5-4-5] Fm7/b [d-E: 9-10-9-11] F dim/B [low][E-g: 1-2-3-2, bass line alternates between b[a2nd fret] and f [E1st fret]] F7b5 [d-e: 3465] C69 [a-b: 3-2-2-3] Am7 [E-G: 5-7-5-5] at “a poem” Gm at “reads a poem” e:6thfret D dim [a-b: 5-6-4-6] D[a-E: 0-4-2-3-2] A [What terrible lie...played higher than the proceeding A] E [d-E: 6-4-5-4] G7 first time[d-e: 5-4-3-1 a bit of a stretch] second time[d-b: 5-4-6] other times bar it. ***:D End chords*** ***HOW TO READ MY CHORD NOTATIONS:*** say the chord is F. F is formed from [E->e] 1-3-3-2-1-1. If the notesare x-x-3-2-1-1, than it will say: F [d-E 3-2-1-1], Meaning the first number in the sequence, 3, Is on the D string, the last is on the high e. Another example: E major minor 7 [a-B: 7-6-7-8] would look like e--x---- b-----8- g----7-- d--6---- a----7-- E--x--- ***:D***
