There’s another tab on this site that is completely wrong but it is the most popular and pops up when you search on google. I’m so glad there’s another one that’s actually accurate!!
The last tabbed section, “It’s something that I’m supposed to be,” is labeled incorrectly. It’s labeled Dbm7 but it’s actually Dm7. The tabs are correct though.
easier on +3, but in the “someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection” piece substitute am for a7
