The question of U Chords

Ok peeps, i've been trying to get the chords to The Question Of U. I've been doing this mostly by ear, and i wonder what some perhaps more gifted musicians here think of it so far.. did i get it mostly right?

Bm

So what is the answer 2 the question of u

G

What do i look 4


F#m7

What shall i do?

Bm

Which way do i turn? When i'm feeling lost?

G F#m7 Bm

If i sell my soul, now what will it cost?

E A

Must i become naked?


D Gdim

No image at all?

C F#m

Shall i remain upright?

G

Or get down and crawl?
All of the questions in my life will be answered

D

when I decide which road 2 choose

C F# Bm

what is the answer 2 the question of u?



Repeat chords for guitar solo. After that the song sortof meanders along in Bm


Riff over C chord: What is the answer to: G F# E D C B A#

Enjoy!

Edited to change chords

"Must I become naked" - I'm hearing Em on "naked"

"Shall I remain upright" - I'm hearing C on "upright", then Bm

"When I decide which road 2 choose" - I'm hearing D

Don't hate me 'cause I'm NOT beautiful

The F#m7 is actually a donimant chord. It should read F#7. Also, there's no diminished chords in the song. If you're hearing something that sounds kind of diminished you're probably hearing a dominant chord. A perfect example is a C#dim. If you throw a "A" note in the bass you suddenly have an A7.
