“their strange ways” should be C D Em
also, what’s the major/7th between low and high part? another b7?
Thanks AJ. I had trouble on those words but I think doing a C is preemptive of the C on “the banquet”. If you have any other ideas, let me know, but I think Em works also. I’ll get back to you on the lo-hi transition.
