Hello Guest, I still have the Happy Traum ISB songbook, but it doesn't have any tab for 'Good as Gone', just chords - and I don't think they're correct anyway. On the LP it's played in A, and to me it sounds like G capoed up to II, which is supported by this live recording on which it's played in G without a capo. However the book gives chords in A with E chords in brackets (which would indicate capo V), but when I've tried that it doesn't sound right. I think the confusing thing is that RW is playing a version of the G chord with no thirds in it, so to sound authentic you have to damp the 2nd string and fret the fifth at III. Also he adds a high A on the 6th string (V) to his D chord on the word 'May' and slides that down to get a partial C chord (*) consisting of xxDGCG on 'coming'. In G the chords are: /C///G///D//C*G// /C///G///D//C*G/// Am//C//G/// Am//C//G/// The chords in the coda would be: Gm, Dm, Gm, Dm, Bb, F, Bb, F, Cm, Am, G. Very approximate, since his timing is very free, I don't do tab and I never played the song before. But that's my best guess.
