Chord Dialogue Part I And Ii by Chicago

the following is my attempt to tab the song reasonably close to studio and live recordings that i’ve heard except for the instrumental sections , in which case i’ve suggested chord patterns . the chords aren’t difficult for the intermediate and advanced player , but may give the beginner a bit of trouble . they are definitely worth the effort to get right , since the bass notes really stand out when played as written . as for the strumming pattern , listen to the recordings and come up with something that makes you happy . oh , and good luck with the high notes! dialogue part i & ii - chicago part i q . and A . are different vocalists intro strummed , syncopated rock beat : D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D G CaddG G A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D D Em q . are you optimistic bout the way that things are goin?
