CHORDS
Original chord fingerings:
Van appears to have used a capo on the 3rd fret so the Eb is played as C, Bb is
played as G, Ab as F and Gm as Em:
MI LA RE SOL SI MI
Eb chord: 0 3 2 0 1 0
Bb chord: 3 2 0 0 0 3
Ab chord: 1 3 3 2 1 1
Gm chord: 0 2 2 0 0 0
Optional chord fingerings: (without capo)

Bb chord: 6 8 8 7 6 6
Gm chord: 3 3 5 5 4 3
Ab chord: 4 6 6 5 4 4
NOTES
If playing the C, G, Em, F shapes with a capo, the fills become easier to play.
For example the intro can be played by playing the C-shape Eb major and hammer-
ing onto the 4th string (D string), then using the 3rd fret on the same string
to play the final note of the fill. I personally tend to use the 2nd and 3rd
frets on the treble-e string (string 1) to play the fill leading into the lines
"When that foghorn blows...". Experiment with it.
