This is what I believe are the chords for Phish's "If i Could".

  D: 054230 (I'll call it "D11")   G:320003

  Bm7 (Although not an actual "Bm7", I don't know what the real name for this
chord is, so I'll call it that for this song) :024242

   C:03201   F:133211   D:000323   A:002220  Am/B (?):020010    Am: 002210

Thanks to Mace from RVCC for teaching me this wonderful song!  He figured it
out, all I did was learn it and send it in!  Enjoy!
