I had no idea we shared bandmates.

Love the attention to detail. There are so many goodies here: the envelope filter chucks, the drum fills, the loping bass,tasty fills by guitar and harp. Lovely job.

thanks guys
about the minor chord in the song it's right there are versions without and versions with,

for my part I have the habit of passing before starting the reference (in this case the live version by Clapton found in YT) in the mill of Chordify which deciphers the grid (attention! not always very right especially in the complex grids=)

here is the grid he proposed me:

I thought it sounded good, I kept it :)

I use Chordify to be a last-resort when I can't figure out chords. It's pretty impressive, but it takes into account everything going on in an arrangement and then often unnecessarily changes the  chord. For example, in "Knocking on Heaven's Door" (the example to which you linked), it evaluates the minor pentatonic scale that Clapton is playing over a C major chord, and it says that there is a C minor chord. Well, technically, there is a C minor if you consider every note from every instrument at that moment – probably because Clapton noodles briefly on an Eb note. But the actual chord being played by the guitar and keyboard is a C major.

Judging from your cover of the song, you have a pretty good sense of what to ignore from Chordify. I always imagine it would be pretty frustrating and misleading for an inexperienced musician to use Chordify.
