On the bass?

I don't have my bass with me but I think the intro is Am, F and G, sax solo something like

Dm, G, Dm, G, C, Am, G

Hope this helps you in the right direction!

EDIT - could well be Dmaj although the sax solo indicates a minor key?

From memory, we used to play it in E so the guitar/keys chords behind the sax intro and lead solo are

A G E D (although the sax part and lead solos work perfectly well over an Em instead of the E)

Then again, I could be talking complete bollocks.

Thanks for the info all - I will take a noodle at this and see how it works.

Never seen that before, a sort of accurate version of Chordie.

Just found a copy of Baker Street in Eb which I think is the original key on the track.

Intro chords are - Ab(with Bb bass), E(with Gb bass) and Gb(with Ab bass)
Looks strange but works! (some chords are 11ths?)

Sax intro chords are - Eb / Eb Gb with Bb bass / Eb / Eb with Gb bass /

Db / Bbm / Ab / Ab7 / .............then into the verse starting on Bb

Hope this helps!
Cheers
Pete.

Close enough I think, although the original track on the 'City To City' album is in D - the Eb version was featured on a number of compilations around the late 70's.
