Song: "You Only Live Twice" (J Barry)
Artist:Nancy Sinatra.
version from the film: https://youtu.be/hs8uYxTJ530
Chord Analysis: Mats Fagergren , 2017.
This melody contain several complex harmonies.
I have tried to capture colors in the
string arrangement and turn it to guitar chords.
The chord F#m(maj7) might sound little too "far out" but the F note
occur in the string arrangement in parallell with F#m..! I have put
F#m(maj7) above F#m and in brackets to show that it is an
alternative chord to F#m.
