Been working on a version of Bruce Cockburn's great song, but I've run into a small roadblock. Maybe you can help. It's in A.

In the third line, all transcriptions I've found show only two chords

[A]Man comes up and says, [F#7/#9] Move along...

But I think it needs a transitional chord or addition in between. Thoughts?

I'm playing the 2nd chord as 4434, BTW. And...

Line 4 calls for Bm7-E9. That's a subtle change and thin on a uke, so I'm just playing E7. Thoughts?
