Topic: A challenge? Wasted Time (ending only) - The Eagles

Hey gang:

I found what seems to be a perfect chord set for this beautiful song (a real tear-jerker if you've just broken up with the person of your dreams).

Anyway, I can't get the ending to match the recording, and I'm not convinced the chords listed for the ending are right.

Here is the chord set: 
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/eagle … me_crd.htm

Here are the ending chords as shown in the set:
[Am7][F][C/G][Ab][C][Am7][F][C/G][Ab][Fm6][C]

And here is a recording (ending starts at 4:22):

If somebody could verify that the ending chords are correct (and give me a beat count for each chord) it would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Nom

After the singing stops, I hear:
1 2    3 4  1234  1 2   3  4   123  4    1 2   3 4   12  34  1
C Em F G G#     C Em F G   G#    Bb C Em F G  G# F    C
"time".

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Daddy:  Thanks for the response.  I appreciate it.

Toots:  I was driving my wife batty trying to work this out, so she broke out her keyboard and helped me find the ending which sounds right to me.

You have a very good ear.  What you posted was very close to what she and I came up with.  Try this and see if it sounds right to you (I'd like a second opinion.) 

Beat counts in parentheses.  Fm6 = xx0111

time
C(1) C/E(1)  C/F(1)  C/G(1)  Ab(4)
C(1) C/E(1)  C/F(1)  C/G(1)  Ab(3)  Bb(1)
C(1) C/E(1)  C/F(1)  C/G(1)  Ab(4)  Fm6(4) C(ring)

Basically the same thing you had, except we subbed C's with bass walkups for your Em F and G.

For reference:  Ending starts at 4:22:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtbrgRLNFhg

Thanks again.
