Correction:

"Beautiful, Loved and Blessed" - A major/F# minor

And again, 3121 alternates between Bb major and Bb minor.

Is there something being said here?
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

Hey, I have a thread in the musicians forum, asking for the chords to "How come u don't call me anymore", but no one answered yet. Any chance you have them memorized or could figure them out? Doesn't seem to be a big deal for you! biggrin

"3121" kind of alternates between maj/min. Reminds me of Bitches Brew (tonality wise), but its got that sticky funk vibe to it... Killer track cool

I think it is,

Verse
Db-Db-Gbm/A-Gbm/A
Gb-Gb-Gb/Ab-Gb/Ab

1st and 2nd bridge
Gb-Gb-Gb-Gb
Db/F-Db/F-Db/F-Db/F
Ebm-Ebm/F-Ebm/Gb-Eb/G
Gb/Ab-Gb/Ab-Gb/Ab-Gb-Ab

3rd bridge
Gb-Gb-Gb-Gb
Am6b5-Am6b5-Am6b5-Am6b5
Bbm7-Bbm7-Bbm7-Bbm7
Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb
Ebm-Ebm/F-Ebm/Gb-Eb/G
Gb/Ab-Gb/Ab-Gb/Ab-Gb-Ab


Just figured them out, they should be accurate!

Well, the notes in an Am6b5 chord would be:

a c eb and gb.

I usually play "How come you don't call me anymore" on the piano.

Isn't that technically an F major chord with the 7 and the 9 and omission of the F then?
