North Bound

I gave up on D shape bar chords for a while and this was the result.

27 takes to get something aproaching acceptable. 27 takes! And I wrote this myself, it's not difficult and I have been playing it for weeks and weeks.
One difference is that I had to nail down the form into a consistent pattern. No more adding a measure here, dropping a beat there or changing the chord progression on a whim. It seemed to me that I should make the form easy to follow since I'm asking others to play along. Whenever I play it solo for a live audience (or just messing around) I can improvise all I want. But to do it the way it is written Without any alteration took me 27 takes.
I bow to all the real recording artists who do this kind of thing in their sleep.

In more generic terms
(it should go like this, except I can't yet consistently bar a D shaped bar chord):

Intro
| I | ii | iii | I |

Verse
|: I | V | ii | I :| (repeat once)

Chorus
| I | ii | iii | ii | I | ii | iii | I |

Bridge
| I ii | iii IV | V | V+4 | V(+4) | IV+4 | IV(+4) | IV(+4) | iii(+4) | ii(+4) | I | I |

Verse
|: D | A | Em/D | D :| (repeat once)

Chorus
| D | Em/D | F#M/D | Em/D | D | Em/D | F#M/D | D |

Bridge

___________________________________________

Em/D = Dm shaped Em with an open D string
F#M/D = Dm shaped F#m with an open D string
G/D = D shaped G with an open D string
A/D = D shaped A with an open D string
These are also played with an added 4th (instead of the 3rd)
