"She's Coming Home"

This week, I have the chords for "She's Coming Home" (in writing them out, I discovered that I'd actually been missing the guitar part at the end of the bridge).  There are some specific rhythms for these, so it's probably the most difficult chord progression I've posted so far, but the chords themselves are pretty easy.

The bass part for this is really easy (for almost the entirety of the verses, it's just E notes), so I might try notating that (along with the organ part, which is also pretty easy) and then add the guitar chords above the staff.  That would be easier to understand than just a list of chords, but it'll be awhile before I get to that, so....

The guitar comes in fairly late in the first verse.  There's an initial B major at the end of the second line ("I thought my love for her had gone away") and then:

|: E major / A major :|
E major / G# minor / C# minor / B major

Choruses:

A major / C major / E major / E dominant 7 / E major
A major / C major / E major / C major
E major / C major
A major / B major / Bb major / A major
E major / A major / E major

Bridge:

C# minor / F# major / A major / B major
B major / A major / F# major / E major

There are four measures of rests in the guitar part before going back to:

|: E major / A major :|
E major / G# minor / C# minor / B major

The rhythm for the repeated |: E major / A major :| section is a lot less intensive than in the first verse.  There's only one strum per measure.

The last chorus has a slightly different ending:

A major / C major / E major / E dominant 7 / E major
A major / C major / E major / C major
E major / C major
A major / B major / Bb major / A major
|: E major / A major :| E major
