    guitar solo over Em7 to fade



Chord fingerings:

G#maj7/6: xx6563
A/D:  x57655
B7#9#5:  x21233
C/F:  xx3553
D/G:  xx5775
E/A:  xx7997
F#7#9:  242355
G/C:  x35433

(On the record, those X/Y chords are almost certainly played as a standard X
chord on guitar, with the bass covering the Y note; the fingerings suggested
above are for anyone who wants to replicate the overall sound of those chords
on a single guitar.  And, incidentally, Laura Nyro was using major triads
with the fourth in the bass when Don and Walt were still playing frat parties
at Bard.)
