Charles, I have appended the chords for 'Wrap Around' as there are small discrepancies in what I intended and Davids gif files. My whole intention was to illustrate the use of the cycle of 5ths (pentatonic) which supplies around two thirds of the harmony structures of popular music, and thus a very important part of a musicians general knowledge of the subject. To avoid any confusion, my chord symbol 'm' indicates a minor chord, (ie Cm), and '7' indicates a dominant 7ths - thus C7. So here goes:

Bm7(b5)../E7../A../.../ Am../D7(b9)../G../... /Gm../C7../Fm../Bb7../Ebm../Ab7../Db../Gb7..//

Bm7(b5)../E7../A../..// these 4 bars are simply a Coda or tag.

For any interested parties I have appended a gif file illustration of the cycle of 5ths. It is simply called 'Cycle.gif'. (Very imaginative!!!)

Happy cycling,

Bernard
