Chord fingerings:

	G#maj7/6: xx6563
	A/D:	 x57655
	B7#9#5:	 x21233
	C/F:	 xx3553
	D/G:	 xx5775
	E/A:	 xx7997
	F#7#9:	 242355
	G/C:	 x35433

(On the record, those X/Y chords are almost certainly played as a standard X
chord on guitar, with the bass covering the Y note; the fingerings suggested
above are for anyone who wants to replicate the overall sound of those chords
on a single guitar. And, incidentally, Laura Nyro was using major triads
with the fourth in the bass when Don and Walt were still playing frat parties
at Bard.)
