anyone know an easier version than the Bmaj7 Csus9 etc.???

I love that track, one of my desert island discs

Achingly lovely.

Sorry DC, not being a musician I can't help with the chords, but admiring your taste.

The fact that it coincides with mine in the matter is neither here nor there.

Hmmm.

Just referred to the live version I have and I don't think it was ever gonna be a super simple one to play.

I get:

Bbmaj7 / Am7 / C9(no 3rd) / Dm7 / Am7 / G / D

C(add9) / G / Gm / D / A7sus / Bbmaj7 / C7sus

Most of that is not super complex, but if you're having problems with the Bmaj7 and Csus then it probably is!

Sorry if that was absolutely no help.:)

[mlteenie]

You could try transposing it up a tone:

Cmaj7 / Bm7 / D(add9) / Em7 / Bm7 / A / E

D(add9) / A / Am / E / Bsus / Cmaj7 / Dsus

This may be slightly easier as it avoids the Bbmaj7.

A chord site like this might be helpful, it show the fingering for any chord you could ever wish to play, as well as plenty you'll never wish to play!

I always use Ultimate Guitar. There's usually dozens of variations of popular tunes such as that.

Edited to include link.

Keef and Jaybee I think I love you. Those sites are exactly what I have been looking for. I can now stop torturing the wife, kid and cats with my only two songs (House of the Rising Sun and Sit Down). :))

Thanks everyone for your help, I'll either persevere or transpose it, I was just being lazy!!!!

Just play power chords to the bass line double the speed and hey presto you have punk rock.

Hey Wichita Lineman, love it :)
