Tabbed by: Rogelio
Tuning: Standard

Here's my take on it. It's not 100% correct, but it's the best I could do.

Chords  [ E A D G B E ]:
Fmaj7   [ 1 3 3 2 1 0 ]
F       [ 1 3 3 2 1 1 ]
Am7     [ x 0 2 0 1 x ]
Em7     [ 0 2 2 0 3 x ]
Em      [ 0 2 2 0 0 x ]
C       [ x 3 2 0 1 x ]
G       [ x 2 0 0 3 x ]
G*      [ 3 2 0 0 3 3 ] (just a secondary way of playing G, more like the main way
actually. Use this when there's an asterisk next to the G)


The Fmaj7 is a pretty crucial chord, it gives the song the whole feel. It's weird, since
you can't exactly substitute it with a regular F chord, except at the last lines of the
verses where Frank sings "Do you think about me still?" and anywhere else where the F 
isn't a major 7th. Be sure you hit that open E. As for the rest of the chords (with the
exception of the F and alt G), try not to hit the high E string.

How you feel?
    Fmaj7                         Am7
And though you were my first time
      Em   C
A new feel
                      Fmaj7
And it will never get old
          Am7                               G      C
Not in my soul, not in my spirit, keep it alive

We'll go down this road
                   Am7                 Em7     C
