No problem. I just finished another tab. Woohoo. let me know how you all feel about the Dadd4 chord. There is definitely a D bass note, and it sounds like there is a G note within the guitar. At 1:39 it sounds like the right guitar is most definitely playing the Dadd4 chord or something very close to it.

Ok keyboard friends... check out this part of "Seven Days" and let me know if it sounds correct. And whether you know the official chord name.
Eb D7 Bbm F xx3021 << Db-bass note
On my way back home from seven years
xx3020 F Dm
In seven days
Eb D7 Bbm F xx3021
Seven winters blown like seven players
xx3020 F Dm F Dm
Who had no cheer
The notes of xx3021 are: F, G, Db, F
The notes of xx3020 are: F, G, Db, E
My guess at the first one would be F suspended 2nd Augmented 5th, but that sounds ridiculous. Or maybe it's a sus9, aug12? Ha.
The first chord is Bbm6/Db; the second chord is E diminished seventh, or to put it more simply, E0.
¡Viva los Católicos!
I never went to no school or nothing about this, so I could be wrong but I think it is inaccurate to describe the second chord as a Edim7 since a diminished E chord should have a Bb somewhere in it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminished_chord
Although more cumbersome, I think it might be more righter to call it an Em6(b9). As for the second chord, wouldn't it make more sense to just call it a C#dim since the bass note is a C#?
Also, in the intro, the ascending bassline seems pretty important with the d going up to the e then to the f. Perhaps eliminating the the A string during the C chord might sound better, as it means you'll use the e note on the D string for a bass note.

A Bbm6 chord contains the notes Bb-Db-F-G; an Em6(b9) chord contains the notes E-F-G-B-C#. There is neither an E nor a B in the guitar, which is playing Db-F-G. Of course, as you pointed out, there isn't a Bb in the guitar either, BUT going by the rules of harmony and theory and what-not, the Bb is absolutely implied in this case. Just because the guitar doesn't play it, doesn't mean it's not there. Just like, for example, if a guitar were to play simply the notes C-E-Bb, followed by the chord F, it's just obvious that, even though there was no G played in the first chord, it's a C7 chord. Sure, you could call it a Bbdim(add9) or whatever, and that might technically have the same notes, but the chord is correctly labelled a C7 chord.
As for the second chord, you're right, that it could be just a C#dim based on what the guitar is playing, BUT first of all, there really aren't just plain diminished chords in music. They're either diminished seventh or half-diminished seventh chords, and even though the seventh might not be specifically stated, as is the case here, it is always implied as to whether it is diminished or half-diminished. Secondly, the Bb IS specifically stated in the piano, making the chord, more correctly, an E0 (or E diminished seventh, or Edim7) chord.

I think you got the chords I'm referring to flipped around, mainly cause I screwed up. The Bbm6/Db is the one I was calling the C#dim, mainly because of the bass note.
But that was my bad, posting too late at night. Since it clearly has an F in it, it isn't the diminished chord. I should have called it the C#b5. Whoops-a-daisy.
The second chord is the one I called the Em6(b9) because whats being played is an E-G-C#-F. The presence of the F is extremely important, yet unaccounted for in your designation as an Edim7, which is, of course E-Bb-G-C# (as far as I know, there isn't a flatted 9 implied in Edim7). Your point about the lack of a B in the chord is valid, and the diminished E chord does sound correct as it moreso keeps with the general key of the song, but we'd still have to add in that flatted 9- so how about Edim7(b9)? |

That may be more correct. The piano is not playing the flat 9 (F), just the guitar. But since this is specifically a guitar transcription, it might be more correct to point that out, in which case you're right, it would be Edim7(b9).
