My wife wants to sing this song at her 50th birthday next month and wants me to learn the chords (and riffs) so I can accompany her. But I cant find the chords anywhere online.

No tutorials on YouTube either. 

I already know a basic version of the opening riff, with the sliding 'D' shape on the 9th/8th fret. I know they're jazzy type chords.

Can anyone help me out please? Proper chords, not simplified songbook sh*t.

Cheers in advance.

I've been married to her for over 20 years and this is the first time she's asked me to learn a song for her to sing with me - and it'll be in front of a lot of people.

So it's going to be a pretty special moment for me.

Well, you can watch this woman do it...
Not quite a lesson, but you can clearly see how she fingers it.

I haven't thought of this song in years.

Good Luck with that.

OMApedia delivers yet again!

What an amazing resource we have! Thank you.

Muzza. Hope it goes well for your lovely lady!

Especially with a serenade on Maton Mark III.

Well, well... you learn something every day.
.
I had always thought that this song contained a racially charged swear word that might have got by back in the day, but never in today's mind set.
And I thought wow.. this lady is going to get up and sing this?
Before I posted I went to that internet thing to look up the lyrics.
Well I'll be damned.
All this time I've had it wrong.
I've had yet another "There's A Bathroom On The Right" moment.

Muzz,
Time to take up the Bass on this one...

You totally realize that this is a test from SWMBO and that knowing that doesn't make it any better.
You will pass based on the effort you put into it vice the results.

If you can get one of her favorite artists to show up and play with you (longshot but potential home run) you will get bonus points!
Thing is there aren't any Bee Gees left and Olivia Newton John is probably booked.

You'll do fine!
