Date: October 6, 1999 3:18 AM From: Idelracer I could be wrong, but I believe that the C#m7 that appears over the word "Buns" in "Autumn Almanac" should actually be an E. Give it a try, and see if you agree!
Date: March 2, 2009 From: Bergman Broom I believe the song is in A Major, not G as you have it. So verse begins on Bmin7- E7- A.... and so forth.
Date: June 22, 2011 From: Sven Dijt I've changed some of the chords for Autumn Almanac, mostly adding bass chords that feature very prominantly in the song. I think this version is correct now.
