None of them
A super cool song by the brilliant Rickie Lee Jones. The guitar player on the track does a real
subtle and tasty job. Many times the change-up from the Bm9 and the Bm7 chords are a single
note pull-off of the 9 to the root on the 1st string while the chord rings out.
There's a fragment of an A chord as well in the changes such as
"A Bm7 Bm9 Bm9 b a b f# Bm7". I didn't feel the need to tab it out. Don't over think it.
Pop on some head phones and listen several times first and you'll get it.
Well worth the effort and a wonderful addition to anyone's repertoire.
