I posted this to the counting thread, and no one jumped in on it, so I decided to do the hard work, and repost in a new thread.
It's from 1971, and complicated enough that Jack Bruce blows the lyrics in the live version--so here is the album version.
It seems to mostly be in 9/8, but lots of stop time weirdness--and it's mostly a blues.
And it has those tasty Peter Brown lyrics--this is what I REALLY like.
Here's the counting--
| I (2 3 4 ) | (1 2 3 4) | IV ( 2 3 4 ) | ( 1 2 3 ) |
She wrote me out a letter of thanks
| I ( 2 3 4 5) | ( 1 2 3 4 5 ) | (1 2 3 4 ) | ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ) |
I had to doubt, waking in someone’s shoes
| V ( 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) |
It makes me feel so harried
| I ( 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) |
Under her clothes she carried
| V ( 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) |
Proof that she wasn’t married

| I (2 3 4 ) | (1 2 3 4) | IV ( 2 3 4 ) | ( 1 2 3 ) |
She carved herself a piece of my heart
