...agreed. Bacharach is touched by few in pop (Antonio Carlos Jobim is prob the only obvious contender; Brian Wilson - at the sadly short-lived height of his powers). Some do absolutely brilliant stuff, but far, far less consitently than Bacharach or Jobim (eg Lee Hazelwood, Serge Gainsbourg).
Also MASSIVE shout out to Al De Lory's arrangements on both Witchita and By the Time I Get to Phoenix. Masterful jobs both.
The @digitalkettle post above is the basis I got too from the usual chord websites. After the Carol Kay bass intro I play Bbmaj7 on the 8th fret then sus D on the top string followed by c7sus4 which kind of mimics the orchestral voicing on the intro.
opening chord C9sus4 is fret 1 1 3 2 3 X (top string down).
the first G is a quick Gsus4 to G to D to 0 8 07 7 X X to D
The Gadd9 I play fret 0 3 3 2 3 3 then G then flatten the 5th string
otherwise pretty much as you’ll find online.
loving the chord voicings and that stuttering rhythm at the end of the chorus. Really enjoying playing this.
