After being unable to find any mention of Classics IV on this site,I decided 
to submit something representative of their work."Traces" is a well crafted 
song,more sophisticated than rock of the time with a bachrachian sound.

                            Traces (B.Buie,J.R. Cobb,E.Gordy) transcribed by 
J.J. Butler
  
  Intro: The intro is built around a B minor barre chord at the 2nd fret with 
the bass note descending while the rest of the fingering stays put but 
becomes different chords. The bass goes from B to A to G# to G, the last 
being a Gmaj7 that is then slid up to the 6th fret for the last section of 
what is actually the chorus
    Bm     Bm7/A      G#m7b5      GMaj7 (slide up) BbMaj7   D#Maj7  Em7  Asus4 A

 D                            F#m7                 Am7                      B7
     Faded      Photographs....
  Em                     C                C#m7b5             F#       F#7
  tickets torn in half...

   Bm                         Bm7/A              G#m7b5                    GMaj7
Traces of love.....

                    BbMaj7          D#Maj7           Em7             Asus4    
 A
that didnt work out right.....

   After the 2nd chorus thereis a bridge which leads the song to modulate 
from D to D#


bridge:   Bm        F#m        Bm       F#m        Bm        F#m
   I close my eyes........

   G                       A                         Bb
a trace of love still there....                somewhere
   D#           Gm7              Bbm             C7
(sax solo) then on to chorus,now played in Cminor
