More chords by Chris Thile


This is off of the Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau album, and is definitely a

tricky one; I count the verses and

solos in 7/8, and the choruses and interlude in 7/4. The phrasing is also

tricky to reflect on a lead sheet,

and the key center is shifting so much that it's rather unforgiving if you

miss a chord, so I recommend

listening to the recording and following along with the vocal melody; that's

at least how I found it easiest

to learn.

In the instrumental sections, one marking of a chord is equal to one bar. In

the recording, these are

repeated, but I only marked them once.

Have fun!
