Chord Of The Week 16/4/16 - an Eb6 from 'Blame It On The Boogie' by The Jacksons

bigjonbigjon Frets: 680
No inspiration has struck yet for an example of the common blues variation Db9sus4 9x9879 on last week's Db9 9x9869 chord, so I'll do the other chord from the live Karaoke gig of a fortnight ago, in the song Blame It On The Boogie, this week and I'll hold the other one for next time (if anyone can think of a specific example, please let me know!)

This Eb6 chord is the first chord of the chorus, on the word 'Sunshine' and is an appropriately cheerful-sounding open happy chord, suitable for cheering you up on a wet miserable morning such as this. The extra note from the root- third- fifth in the chord is the 6th note of the Eb major scale, a C note, played at the top of the chord xxxxx8 and tracking the main melody of the song.
Eb6: x68888

The chord occurs at 0:41 in the video below.
