EDIT: Never mind... I think it's gotta be Eadd9.

Bandmate had a CD by a sax player named Kirk Whalum (with band). A cover on there is Drowning In A Sea Of Love (Joe Simon) and it's the best I've ever heard. I don't know who is singing, a female, very good r&b voice. A great groove, very danceable. I'm kinda slow this morning and I can't figure this out exactly like I want. The song starts with the chorus.

This is what I hear.


[ CHORUS: ]
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Bm
I've been down one time
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bm
And I've been down two times
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . D
But right now I'm drowning
. Eadd9 . . . . . . . . . . . Bm
Drowning in the sea of love

In the verse, later, there's an F# between the Eadd9 and the Bm but in the chorus, they stay on the Eadd9.

That Eadd9 chord is what's bugging me. It's something close to that. Maybe it's a bit more of a jazzier chord. Should be simple. I keep going between E7 and Eadd9 but it might be something different. Any ideas what it might be?

P.S. Obviously, I'm not posting a file (can't find one), just wondering if you might know what it MIGHT be. (I'm no theory expert.) Eva Cassidy also did a cover of this, I'll listen to hers. But this particular one is really good.
