Can anyone help me in figuring out the chord progression in Chris Squire's Lucky Seven? The song appears on his solo album Fish Out of Water. Any help would be much appreciated.

What instrument do you play? I have the keyboard part which is played on electric piano figured out and I play that on guitar using finger picking style. I also have the chords for the section where he sings "Lucky....too". I am holding down a bass note while playing double notes. I do this during the verse. Do you want me to give you the notes and fingering?

I was mainly wondering which chords the electric piano was playing.

The verse is an E11or E minor 7th to almost a Cmajor 7th as the keyboard adds in different notes giving the Cmajor 7th a different chord name. Instead of playing an A note in the E11,...replace it with a B note. This chord voicing should be exact.

The bass plays 2 seperate notes leading into the first chord ...D to E. The E sustains while 4 seperate sections of notes are played together. 1ST section..D and A.....2ND...B AND E.......3RD..E AND A....4TH...Eand B. Each section of notes are played together and are choked as in quick stops and sometimes cause the E11 chord to sound like an E Minor 7th. But the actual chord voicing is based around the notes in E11.

The bass plays 2 seperate notes leading into the second chord.....B to C. The C sustains while 4 seperate sections of notes are played together. Ist section...D and F#.....2ND section...C and E.....3RD section...B and D....4TH section C and E.

Sometimes during the song the second chord has a voicing like this: C, E, G, D, F# Play the notes in that order and listen to the voicing.

During the chorus 3 chords are played. ......

E11 with an added B NOTE .(could be a minor 7th?) ......to ..don't know the name of the next chord so here are the notes...A in the bass and another A an octave higher, D,G,B. and the 3rd chord is D suspended using the following notes: D,A,C,G, A an octave higher. Sometimes the D suspended chord resolves to a D7.
