Biography:
Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described "rock and roll band with horns" began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.

"Call On Me" by Chicago
(Loughnane)
Chicago VII 1974
For the intro, I strum the first six chords once and then make-up my own kind of rhythm.
Also, sliding up the fretboard from Am and A#m a little sounds like the recording.
It would help to play all of the chords using barre chords, and a wah-wah pedal is needed.
Intro: Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Gm9
Bbm Cm Am9
|Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | |
|Fmaj7 | |B9 |C9 |F#m9 Gmaj7| |F#m9 Gmaj7| |
|F#maj7 | | F#maj7 Gmaj7|Amaj7
For the verses, I play a strumming pattern of:
w w x w u x u u x w u w with w(down), u(up), and x(muted)
Verse 1:
Amaj7 C#m7 Bm7
The feeling was clear, clear as a blue sky on a sunny day
G#m7 C#9
Everything was you, oo ooo
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
'Cause no one made me feel, the way I felt with you, oh oohh
F#m7 Gmaj7
Call on me 'cause I love you
F#m7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Gmaj7 F#maj7
You know I do, you love me too. oo ooo oooo
For verse 2, the strumming pattern stays the same, but for the first D chord, I play:
w u w u w x w x w x (twice)
Verse 2:
Amaj7 C#m7 Bm7
Then came a change, when I said I would soon be leavin' you
G#m7 C#9
Nothing else to do, oooh
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
But please remember I'll never lose the thought of you
F#m7 Gmaj7
Call on me 'cause I love you
F#m7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Gmaj7 F#maj7
You know I do, you love me too. oo ooo oooo
I ad-lib on rhythm for the instrumental. It's difficult to hear the guitar
over the brass and percussion anyways.
F#maj7
Woa wo wo wo wo wo wo
|Bm7 | |Amaj7 | |
|Cmaj7 | |Gmaj7 | |
|Bbmaj7 | |Am7 | |
|Cm7 | |Gmaj7 | |
|Gmaj7 | Gmaj7 Abmaj7|
Same strum pattern as verse 1
Verse 3:
Bbmaj7 Dm7 Cm7
You've got to find someone else to somehow take my place
Am7 D9
Share his life with you, oo ooo
Ebmaj7 Dm7 Cm7
But if you need a friend, you can always count on me
Gm7 Abmaj7
Count on me 'cause I love you,
Gm7 Abmaj7
You know I do,
Gm7 Abmaj7 Gmaj7
you love me too, oo ooo
Instrumental 2:|Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | |
|Am7 | |Cm7 | |Gmaj7 | |
Gmaj7
You can count on me, ooh oh (baby)
You can count on me
(repeat until done)
