I'm Not The Same Without You - Donald Fagen -------------------------------------------- From the album "Sunken Condos" Transcribed/arranged by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com This wonderfully lively track from Donald Fagen's new album works nicely on the guitar, and the chord shapes and changes are all fairly comfortable. The main exception is the sequence with the crisp changes between Dm9 and G7 in the verse/bridge sections - they're just a bit too quick to manage easily. If the bass notes are dropped from the chords the fast changes for that sequence are much more straight forward. All chord shapes given at the end. Intro ------ F#m11 [ch]Dsus2/F[/ch] Em11 Dadd2 Verse 1 -------- Am7 G7 C7 Since you’ve been gone an awesome change has come about Bbmaj7(b5) E7sus4 [ch]Ab/Bb[/ch] G/A My life is different now I’m not the same without you Am7 G7 C7 I’m evolving at a really astounding rate of speed Bbmaj7(b5) E7sus4 [ch]Ab/Bb[/ch] G/A Into something way cooler than what I was before Verse 2 -------- Am7 G7 C7 I feel much stronger than I have in years Bbmaj7(b5) E7sus4 [ch]Ab/Bb[/ch] G/A My mind is sharp and my spirit’s sound Am7 G7 C7 Now people tell me the shape of my face is changing Bbmaj7(b5) E7sus4 [ch]Ab/Bb[/ch] G/A I’ve grown an inch taller since July What in the world is going on?

You can also try the idea below, taken from some of the piano figures used, where the note on the B string is "rolled" up from D to D# to E (use hammer-ons with 2nd and 4th fingers). E---------| B--3h4h5--| G--3------| D--5------| A--3------| E---------| You might also want to try using a fuller shape for the E7sus4: 077700. When the Bbmaj7(b5) chord is used the b5 (the top E) isn't always prominent (hence the brackets), though it is usually implied. You can either play the full chord with the E or omit it (giving a sparser sounding Bmaj7: 6x77xx) EADGBE EADGBE 6x654x 5x543x [ch]Ab/Bb[/ch] G/A EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE E A D G B E x5777x x3555x x8x887 x 7 9 7 10 7 D C F9b5(no3rd) E7sus4(vii) The F9b5(no3rd) chord, as played on the keyboards, includes a D at the top making it F13b5(no3rd). Unfortunately this chord doesn't fit nicely on the guitar, so the simpler F9 shape has to be used.
