Hi all,

my attempt - just a quick draft:

Intro: Dm - Dm - Dm - Dm

Verse: ||: Dm - C - Bb - F - Eb - Dm :||

Chorus: F - Gm - D - Gm - C - D

Solo over Verse + Chorus (2x)

then Dm - Dm --> Verse, 2x Chorus, End (D)

I cannot check right now, but the second Gm on the chorus could be a Bb.

Isn't there some C as passing chord in the verse as well?

Well, no, F - Gm - D - Gm - C - D is the right sequence for the chorus.
Many tempo changes in the song, a bit challenging.

Nice job, I just had quick strum along with your chords.

The tempo is constant, but there's a funny bar changes, I look forward to in depth explanation from Ingo!  ;D

Tempo intended as bar measure (2/4, 3/4, 4/4) not as bpm.
I tried to write a simple chart of the song structure if interested.

I tried to structure it with bars. you can find some 2/4, 3/4 and mostly 4/4 bars.

Really a great job. I'm one of the worst guitar player in the world, so ... if I did find the way to play something that resembles the real tune, it means your work is magnifique!

I found a little mistake on the last chorus, 4 bars more than expected.

Very nice!! Did you find that chart from the garbage bins outside British Grove?

Honestly, that's very helpful and well laid out, thank you. If Knop wants a personal assistant you should give him a call. ;D

 :) Well it's a standard structure chart (I'm leading a band) you'd better use when you want to share and speed up the learning curve with your musicians. Not found in any bin, it's only reverse engineering.  :)

The second Gm is a Gm but with Bb in the bass: Gm / Bb; the guitar plays Gm, the bass guitar Bb (tierce of Gm).

the usual scheme :
Mark plays lead and the "main" rhythm, and let Richard to play the "background" rhythm... ;)

As he used to do with all his rhytmic guitars from David to Phil before...

Nice!

I thought about it: Maybe this song was recorded in the very early stages of recording process, during the first months Mark and Guy were alone at BG - remember that first diary entry - and thought they nailed it. Guy maybe played bass to be meant provisional - and later it was decided that it was perfect. Ruth and Paul Franklin were just overdubbed later during Mixing/Comping process. So there was no need for Glen Worf to take over the bass line.

I'm sure I'm not correct, but you can also easily move through the chords with a capo on the 3rd fret.  In this manner you're playing:

Intro:  Bm Bm Bm Bm
Verse:  Bm A G D C Bm
Chorus: D  E  etc, etc

Thanks so much for all this information!
I might give Redbud Tree a try on my accoustic guitar.
