"Caroline Goodbye"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I'm actually still a bit unsure of the F major 7th chord that alternates with the A major near the end of the verses, but that's just a question of whether it's a straight-forward major chord or a major 7th.  I'm pretty sure the final F chord is a major 7th because it doesn't really resolve.  Anyway, here's how I played the chords in this recording:

|: F major 7th / C major 7th :|
F major / C major
F major / Esus4 / E major
A major / A major 7th / A dominant 7th / D major
F major 7th / A major / F major 7th / A major

That whole section repeats, but the next time (with the guitar solo) it's different:

|: F major 7th / C major 7th :|
A major / A major 7th / A dominant 7th / D major
|: F major 7th / A major :| F major 7th

Also, I learned one of the string parts, but since I don't have a violin, I had to use one of the fake string settings on my keyboard.
