miden Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Trying to get the chords in the last three bars of the bridge in the great Simon tune, So Long Frank Lloyd Wright..all the charts I find have it as: Eb7 Eb-7 D7-5 | Gmaj7 G7 | C#dim G7 | but when listening to the actual song, those chords don't seem to be quite correct, especially when it jumps back to a Gm7 after the last G7...can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Thanks There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence... Time is the final arbiter for all things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesG Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 You mean the part that goes...Architects may come and architects may go and, never change your point of view ... So long, something something, dada dada dada do? The end right there? I have a pretty good chart for that tune, I'll see if I can find it. I am reorganizing my books today, so chances are high. BTW, GREAT tune. I used to play that as a solo piano thing.

miden Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks WesG that would be awesome! Yeah thats the part, the last three bars. All the charts I have found list the progression I noted above, but when listening to Simon singing it, the backing chords on the record do not seem to match at all... Yeah I agree, I had forgotten it for years, and only re-discovered it as I am revamping my rep. Again, huge thanks if you can find the chart (hopefully in PDF)... please PM me and I can provide an email address.

WesG Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I don't have a PDF, this is an old-fashioned book. My chart's in F. [font:Courier New] Gm7 Architects may come and Ar- FM7 chitects may go and nev- Eb9 F er change your point view - Gm7 Fm7 When I Eb7 Eb7-5 D7-5 run dry GM7 G7 I stop a-while and C#dim G7 think of you [/font] don't forget also, the part that goes "So soon, I'll re member" is EbM7 then Em7-5 then D I played it quick through this morning and it sounded okay, but I also was not 100% happy with that section.

miden Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks Wes, that's the same chording I noted in the OP - and while it "sounds" sorta ok when playing it, it does not match the melody line..and as I am singing it too it does need to fit If you get a chance listen to the S+G recording - it is ONLY those three bars, the rest is spot on for every chart I have seen.
