Outro
guitar solo over Em7 to fade Chord fingerings:A♭maj7/6: xx6563
(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.)
