Well... the songbook says F, Am, G.

If you're playing on piano, start with your right thumb on A above middle c, middle finger on C and pinky on F. Then bring the pinky down to E for the A minor chord, them move all 3 down a note for the G chord.

biggrin Hope that's right!

What I want to know is how to do the voicings that they keys/horns do on the extended parts when they would play it live (e.g. P&T Rev video)....

very funky.

When Sheila does it with her band her horn section plays those voicings INSTEAD of the typical F-AM-G riff.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
