Great song with some strange chords. I’m not sure about the bridge,
although it sounds at least close. But there are of course different
options. Any suggestions for voicings and names of chords are highly
welcome!

Don’t know what to call the second chord. Sounds kind of Spanish/Flamenco
to me . . . Any ideas?
