Haven't had a chance to play a board in months and it's been a long while since I played this song...but I do remember some of the basics...I'll have to check to make sure this is correct later...

Intro
/F
F-Eb/A-C-Eb-F
/Eb
Bb/Ab-C-Db
Gb/Bb-Db-F-Bb
F/Ab-C-Eb-Ab
F/F-A
G/G-Bb
A/A-C
Bb/Ab-C-Db-F

Bb/Ab-C-Db-F
B/Bb-Db-Eb-Gb

Bb/Ab-C-Db-F
Ab/Ab-B-Eb-Gb

Ab-Eb-Gb/Bb-Db-F-Ab

/Ab - I'm
/Db - go'in
/Eb - a

Db/Db-F-Ab --> /F-Ab-Db - way

Walk-up bass (Db/, F/, Gb/, G/)
Ab/Gb-Bb-Db (hit)
Ab/Gb-Bb-Db (hit)
Ab/Gb-Bb-Db (hit)

/Ab - I'm
/Db - go'in
/Eb - a

Db/Db-F-Ab --> /F-Ab-Db - way
Db/Gb-B-Eb (hit)
/F, /Gb
Db/Gb-B-Eb (hit)
Db/Gb-B-Eb (hit)
F/F-A-B-Db

Gb-Db/
.../Bb-Db-F-Bb - to a
F-Eb/Ab-C-Eb-Ab - place

F-Eb/A-C-F, /G - prepared
A/A-C-F, /Eb - just for
Bb/Ab-C-Db - me

(again)
Gb-Db/
.../Bb-Db-F-Bb - a special
F-Eb/Ab-C-Eb-Ab - place

F-Eb/A-C-F, /G
A/A-C-F, /Eb
Bb/Ab-C-Db

I'd have to get back to a board to remember the rest, but it leads back into the intro with the same basic chords.

After the first part of the song it transitions to another key and a different progression as I think the song ends with a rendition of "Soon and Very Soon"  maybe I'll try later to see if I can complete and correct this later if it hasn't already posted...

My favorite part of the song is during the vamp. This is after the key has switched from C#/Db to F#/Gb. Here are some chords for that part:

Key F#  LH/RH

E / E-G#-B  I'm going away,
D# / D#-F#-B
C# / E-G#-B  I'm going away,
F# / E-G#-B
B / D#-F#-A#  I'm going away,
A# / C#-F#-A#  I'm going away,
(repeat)

This is the part that drew me to this song, so it's really the only part that I care about musically. Hope this also helps!
