Thank you alll guys, You’ve been very helpful :)

Ferdan said on October 2, 2002 17:18:

Anyway..... try each possible chord one by one.... train your ear... it’s gonna be the best

Galning said on October 3, 2002 14:26:

As I told before: Bb6 is wrong!!! It is Bbmaj7. Bb6 is definitely wrong. Listen to the acoutic guitar in the beginning. There´s a capo and he plays the chords Am, Fmaj7, Dm, G and so if you play it without capo you get Dm, Bbmaj7, Gm, Cm of course

shaolinda said on October 3, 2002 15:45:

Ok... I’m still learning to play... thanks again :)

Real_Sugar said on October 3, 2002 16:01:

ok-after hearing and playing the verse over and over again i have to say that the Bbmaj7 chord seems to fit too.
but from my point of view the Bb6 sounds much better even though he may not use this chord.
it’s just my feeling...sorry ;-))

royalball said on October 4, 2002 06:21:

I get Bb...that’s the way I’ve played it, maybe my guitar needs to be tuned!

Galning said on October 4, 2002 15:11:

Of course you can play Bb instead of Bbmaj7. It also sounds right and it is right. But I´m not sure how it sounds with Bb6. It´s ok if you do “variations”. It´s not what Per played but if you like it that way it´s ok....
