they're almost all in very funky keys if you want to play along
the intro of Crazy Easy is in two parts.. the first measure is in B (or G#m), and the second measure is in A. the concert pitch chord progression is: G#m F# E B, A G D A (you'll need to transpose that for whichever sax you play).. the verse is also in B (or G#m), and the chorus is in A
Joyride is like Rapunzel and Save Me.. Its intro/verse is in C, but it's played more like a funky G7. Its chorus is a straightforward E, with the measures' chords alternating between E major and A major. Its post chorus is odd too, it's like an Em until the last chord (the progression is Em F# G F.. the F doesn't fit well).. and its bridge (when dave wails away) is in C for the most part, but then switches for the last two chords. the progression there is C G Am Em F C Bb D.. the Bb and D don't really fit in that key.
Hello Again isn't too bad, it's pretty much Gm. However, the third measure of each phrase in the verse is a C chord, NOT Cm. Same idea with the chorus. the post-chorus/bridge thing is in Bb until the last two measures, which are Dm and D.
Sugar Will is, for the most part, in Am.. the progression is F Am C Bb.. the only funny part about it is that the Bb measure doesn't fit in the Am key.. the chorus's progression is Dm C G Dm.. I would say this chorus is in Dm, but the G chord throws it off.. so I'd say it's in Am also.. and the outro is just Am over and over
Good Good Time is the most straight-forward one.. it's just in Cm
this is probably WAY more than you wanted to know, but i've been meaning to sort through them for a while anyway
