[BBvideo=425,350][/BBvideo]Hi there! Is there anyone that plays People Gotta Move (Gino Vanelli, I know, guilty pleasure... ).

I can't get my hands to play the riffs and there's nothing online it seems. Any help is appreciated. I would love to play this with the band.

Thx!

Great song! I have played it before, let me get back to you with some chords.

Intro:
||: F#m7 | B7/F# : ||

Verse:
||: F#m7 | bm7 | g#m7(b5)add6 C#7#9 | F#m7 : ||
A#+5/C | A#+5/C

Chorus:
||: Bm7 | Bm7 | F#m7 | F#m7 : || 3x
g#m7(b5)add6 C#7#9 | F#m7

The A#+5 (A#, D, F#) is, as far as I can tell, functionally an F#7+5 as dominant chord leading to the Bm7 in the chorus, with the bass moving to the C as a tritone substitute. Tricky, but cool.

Then the whole thing repeats except up a half-tone.
Horn break is just cm7 and gm7.
Transition to piano solo is something like dm7 and C#7b5
key solo is Cm7 and gm7 again, ending in Am7b5 and that weird run and

shift the next chorus another half-note up into C#m7 and G#m7, ending in A#m7b5 and that weird run and

another half-note up.

Tricky but cool - indeed!
I gotta try those chords tonight!

That's from a quick take — there might be errors in there. But structurally, it's a pretty basic minor progression with a II-V-I minor cadence.

Those smileys are, of course, part of the second repeat sign.

Yep, it seems to be quite right. The A#+5/C is equivalent to a C9#11 (tritone substitute for F#7).

When it comes to the sound, I think it's a wurlizer with phaser. On my NE4 I get pretty good results with the amped wurly sample, dyn=3, phase 2 rate 3, and some eq.

Ah, thanks! Yes — that's a more elegant way of putting it.

Sorry for the *Late* reply, I've been out for a while. Many thanks for those chords!!!!!!

You guys know what you're talking about, pretty sure you have a jazz background???!

Again, many thx!

Hahaha...I'm working on building up a "jazz background". It might take me the rest of my life to actually get one.

hi,

Does anybody know the chords of Gino Vannelli's 'Poor happy Jimmy' ? (tribute to Jim Croce, from the album Powerful people).

Thanks,
Hans
