Hi, I'm having trouble working out some of your chords. I'm not great at chord chemistry. Could you please chart these chords, if you don't mind too much - Bb/C, C3dim7, Eb/Bb, Eb/F,Bb/D, Db/A, F/A, G/B I'm thinking it might be easiest for you to tab it this way, I don't know what it's called but... D=000232. Thank you!!! :)
