Hey there. These are the chords for Leon Russell's "One More Love Song". I've based this on a live performance
from Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTcxTrUzfy8), so there may be some small variations with the
studio version, although not too many.
It's obviously a piano song, so some of the chord progressions (especially the F# - G# - F#/Bb etc. run) are
not super optimized for the guitar. You may want to transpose it to e.g A, G or C and play with a capo to make
it easier.
Anywhoo, these are the weird chords I've used for the original key:
F7(b14) is just my way of saying that Leon plays an F chord with the 7 in a high octave (ie. a b14)
F7(b14) F#/Bb G#/Eb Bb/D Eb/F

B|---10------2---------4--|-3------8--------|
G|---10------3---------5--|-3------8--------|
