The Shirelles' "Maybe Tonight"

I recently figured out the chords to the Shirelles' "Maybe Tonight," so in lieu of notation this week, I thought I'd post those.

The verses are just B major, G# minor, E major, and F# major (played for two measures each).  It's the so-called 50s Progression in B major.  For the bridge, there are four measures of E major, four measures of B major, back to four measures of E major, and then two measures of C# major and two measures of F# major.

Written more simply, that's:

Verses: B major / G# minor / E major / F# major

Bridge: E major / B major / E major / C# major / F# major
