Hey Jerry
Great lesson with this song! I’ve noticed that the C#m type chord after the D#dim chord is a C#m7 when the vid lesson for the verses is taught with the C#m! I personally find the C#m7 fits well in that sequence after the diminished chord along with the C#m at the end of the verses. What do you reckon Jerry?
