Play that over the verses, then go into this part,
it used to be played like this, using the main Bm7 riff
transposed to other chords, and in a heavier style...
|: Am7 > Gm7 > G#7 :|
But now they play it like this, more jazzy style...
|: Am7 > Gm7 :|
This is what I guess you might call the chorus...
|: Cm7 > F > Bb > F > Bb :|
Then some jammage...
|: Bb > C > Bb > C > Bb > F :|
This is the basic riff played over that last part...
|---------------------------------------------------|
|-5h6p5---------------5h6p5-6/8---------------------|
|-------7-5-----------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|-5h6p5-------5--------5h6p5-6/8--------------------|
|-------7-5-7---5-----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
Do that chorusy part and the jammage after it twice, then this...
|: Cm7 > Bm7 :|
And back to the beginning
At the very end play this chord...
