I'm pretty enamored by the Rhodes part in the song Seven Months, on Portishead's second album. Around 3'20" the Rhodes comes in quietly, under the guitar part. Can anyone give me an idea what these chords are? I couldn't find any sheet music for this song. I would link to a sample, but I can only find the live version, in which the keyboard is barely audible.

It's a tough call. First, I think it is vibraphone (with the motor on), not Rhodes.

Perhaps:

The general chord modulation is (notwithstanding the accidentals) sound like Ebm7 to Abm7.

Thanks, I'll have to play around with this during the daytime when I can make more noise. The keyboard player plays it on a Rhodes live, through a Space Echo, but it could be vibes on the recording.

What chords are in this Portishead song?
