Since I wasn’t getting much from the lyrics yet, I opted for a first-pass transcription to see if the text suggested any orchestration.

Since I was working from memory of the studio version, the distinction between bassline and upper structures kinda eluded me, so it was a little touch-and-go between (ii7 or IV) and (Imaj7 or iii). No doubt, when I eventually consult the unplugged version, Robin’s gonna throw me a curveball with his guitar voicings. I always noticed those were simpler than the fully-produced versions.

The coda transcribed here like a vocal score really suggests recitative to me. Wondering how I’m gonna make that work.
