Jesamine (ver 3) Chords

Song: Jesamine
Artist: The Casuals
Tabbed by DJ
25th June 2015

First recorded by The Bystanders,
but a #2 UK hit in 1968 for The Casuals

CAPO: 1st fret (Sounds in the key of Db)

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
C      = x32010    Fm6 = 100111    Em  = 022000
C7     = x32310    G   = 320033    D9  = xx0210
Am     = x02210    F   = 133211    Bb7 = x13131
Ammaj7 = x02110    Dm  = xx0231
G7     = 320001    Dm7 = xx0211

N.B. If you want to play it with the bass progression,
the C7 should really be C7/Bb (x12010)
The Ammaj7 should have a G# bass, and the progression
could be played Am = xx7555 to Ammaj7/G# = xx6555 

The bass riff below could be used on the choruses:
        G7
   When Jes -a -mine...
