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!

I believe the song is in A Major, not G as you have it.
So verse begins on Bmin7- E7- A.... and so forth.

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.
