Unless it's really simple, I'm not much good at working out chord progressions. Not having something to play along with beside my steel doesn't help. Could any of you work out this one? It's quite short, but I have liked it for many years.

Typing this with no instrument handy, so...

/FM7 Em7 /FM7 Em7/ Bb F / Bb F /
/FM7 Em7 /FM7 Em7 / Bb F/A /Bb F Bb F/

/ Dm7 Em7 / D7 G7sus G7 /

/FM7 Em7 /FM7 Em7 / Bb F/A /Bb F Bb F/

/ Dm7 C / Dm7 C / F /

/FM7 Em7 /FM7 Em7/ Bb F / Bb F /

Interesting tune--it implies the key of F, but I really believe it is in the key of C, which really gives it that unresolved feeling. The closest it ever comes to resolving is at the G7.

Mike, isn't it rather Cmay7 instead of Em7?

I'm not hearing a C note anywhere in that chord and there is an E in the bass.
