    guitar solo over Em7 to fade
     
  • Chord fingerings:
     
    G#maj7/6: xx6563
  • A/D: x57655
    B7#9#5: x21233

    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.)
