Help! "Crazy" by Javier: need the chords

O.K., one of the bands I play in (violin and flute) is trying to add a few new tunes to the ol' setlist. They are a cover band that plays mostly Motown, R&B (Isleys, O Jays, Lou Rawls, Sade, Luther, etc.) and a small bit o' blues. They've added two new soul tunes, "Far Away" by Kindred and "Crazy" by Javier. There's a couple of chords in "Crazy" that they use that don't sound right (making it sound more "country" than "urban" lol ), and there's a more than a few chords in the bridge of the song that are off. If anyone knows the song and can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can org note me, if ya want.

THANKS!

From the brief sample I heard of the tune, this is what it sounds like to me.

Verse:
Gmaj7 Cm7 Cm9/F(bass) D7#9

Chorus:
Gmaj7 Cm7 Cm9/F(bass) Gmaj7

*(since only one line of the verse was played, I couldn't tell if the D7#9 chord is used at the end of each verse or just a turnaround for the chorus)

Good luck

You're welcome. wink

The chances are slim and none that i'll be hearing the complete tune. disbelief
There just happened to be a small sample of the tune on cdnow.com.

idea2 Suggestion:
In the future, if you request this type of assistance, you'll probably get a better response if you supply the folks here with some audio file format of the song yourself. hmmm

Peace peace

You've got nothing to be sorry about.
Glad to be able to provide that small bit of assistance.
Btw, did the chords work?

Peace peace
