Strange Relationship Chords?

Hey.. does anyone know the chord progression of Strange Relationship?

I'd like to start playing it! I just bought Live at the Aladdin and that version is great.

Thanx

Off the top of my head:

I forget which key it's in, let's say E minor

Em, Am, C, Em
Em, Am, C, Em
C, G, B7 or B9 Em
C, G, B7 or B9

Could be wrong but that's pretty close

Yeah, that's wrong...

The key is D minor, and it goes like this:

Dm7 / Gm7 / Gm7 / Dm7
Dm7 / Gm7 / Gm7 / Dm7
Eb / Bb / A7 / Dm7
Eb / Bb / A7 / A7

You're right. I played it when I got home.

It's interesting, I've never played that with the record, I just figured it out on my guitar while I sang and it sounded right. So in D minor the way I played it, the chorus would have been:

Bb / F / A7 / Dm7
Bb / F / A7 / A7

It still works with the melody, I just happened to be playing the wrong chords!
