枫 by 周杰伦
This song by Jay Chou begins in C, then modulates to C# after the bridge.
Since the verse is repeated before going to the bridge, I decided to begin with the chorus in order to keep the video short.
In other words, in the video, Part 1 is the chorus, and Part 3 is verse of the song.
Part 5 is the chorus in C# key, and with a slightly different ending from Part 1.
These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1a: C2 - G/B - Fm6/G# - Am7 - Em7
Part 1b: F - G/F - Em7 - Am7 - Dm7 - F/G - G
Part 1c: F - G/F - Em7 - A4 - A/C# - Dm7 - F/G - G
Part 2: Am - F (x2)
Part 3a: C2 - G/B - F/A - C/G
Part 3b: F - C/E - Am7 - Dm7 - F/G - G
Part 4: C#2 - F#/C# - G#/F# - G#
Part 5a: C#2 - G#/C - F#m6/A - A#m7 - Fm7
Part 5b: F# - G#/F# - Fm7 - A#m7 - D#m7 - F#/G# - G#
Part 5c: F# - G#/F# - Fm7 - D#7 - D#m7 - F#/G# - F#m6/G# - C#
