Play that over the verses, then go into this part,
it used to be played like this, using the main Bm7 riff
transposed to other chords, and in a heavier style...

  |: Am7 > Gm7 > G#7 :|

But now they play it like this, more jazzy style...

  |: Am7 > Gm7 :|

This is what I guess you might call the chorus...

  |: Cm7 > F > Bb > F > Bb :|

Then some jammage...

  |: Bb > C > Bb > C > Bb > F :|

This is the basic riff played over that last part...

  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |-5h6p5---------------5h6p5-6/8---------------------|
  |-------7-5-----------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|

  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |-5h6p5-------5--------5h6p5-6/8--------------------|
  |-------7-5-7---5-----------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|

Do that chorusy part and the jammage after it twice, then this...

  |: Cm7 > Bm7 :|

And back to the beginning

At the very end play this chord...
