acidbass Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I don't have my bass with me but I think the intro is Am, F and G, sax solo something like Dm, G, Dm, G, C, Am, G Hope this helps you in the right direction! Danny EDIT - could well be Dmaj although the sax solo indicates a minor key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) From memory, we used to play it in E so the guitar/keys chords behind the sax intro and lead solo are A G E D (although the sax part and lead solos work perfectly well over an Em instead of the E) Then again, I could be talking complete bollocks.

skywalker Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Never seen that before, a sort of accurate version of Chordie. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Just found a copy of Baker Street in Eb which I think is the original key on the track. Intro chords are - Ab(with Bb bass), E(with Gb bass) and Gb(with Ab bass) Looks strange but works! (some chords are 11ths?) Sax intro chords are - Eb / Eb Gb with Bb bass / Eb / Eb with Gb bass / Db / Bbm / Ab / Ab7 / .............then into the verse starting on Bb Hope this helps! Cheers Pete.
