In the final line, I didn't want the vocal's held "bird" note to shift at all, not even by only a half fret. The solution is to use a vV^7 chord. The pitch shift from the vD chord's vD to the G chord's D is avoided by omitting the root. vD^9noR = F#vdv7. | In the final line, I didn't want the vocal's held "bird" note to shift at all, not even by only a half fret.

I used a vVI chord instead of plain VI mostly to make it more playable. | |||
The last chord of the 3rd quarter of the song is the most "away" chord, so it seemed natural to put a subharmonic chord there. The extra dissonance gives the song a little boost. Since I didn't want the tonic to shift, the only other alternatives were ^IIv7 and IIv,7. The only tricky part was how to tune the chord's 6th. Ideally it would be a M7 to match the chord's 3rd, but for playability and to avoid a pitch shift I used a vM7. It makes a wolf 11th with the bass note (21/8 vs. 8/3) and even worse a wolf 6th with the root (27/16 vs 12/7). So perhaps bend it up a bit? | |||
