Daybreaker – Electric Light Orchestra, From 1973’s On the Third Day
An instrumental ELO piece written by Jeff Lynne.
The big weird cluster chord at the end of the bridge has an Am in the piano part,
but the notes stack up as A C E Bb Eb G#, C7+(add b13)/A (or whatever you want to call it),
if you're interested. An Ammaj7 works well as a substitute (notes A C E G#).
In 12/8 time (or 4/4 swung triplets), except for outro, which is in 7/4.
Also note that the bar of Ammaj7 at the end of the intro is a bar of 2/4.

There is some music at the end, but it isn’t really over any chords - it’s just part of the fade out.
