"Long Flowing Robe"
 From "The Ballad of Todd Rundgren"
 Transcribed by Brian Canfield

 So, for some of these chords, I've indicated a particular voicing for it in paranthesis. Either that's what Todd plays (for instance, on the intro of this song), or I just think it sounds better. Otherwise, just play around with the chords (root position, 1st inversion, whatever), and see what sounds best.

And also, I haven't done much for guitar, except one riff. You can vaguely hear some chords being strummed at times, but it's really more of a keyboard song. 

The song is in the Key of C, and stays there the whole time except for a Bbmaj7 and a D7 in the pre-chorus. 

Clavinet Intro:

   C         G/C        F/C         C
(G-C-E)    (G-B-D)    (A-C-F)     (G-C-E)

  C/A         G/D          Bb          F/G
 (G-c-E)    (G-B-D)      (F-Bb-D)    (F-A-C)

 
 C    G    C
 

 Over the "C  G  C" progression, there's a little guitar hook that repeats quite frequently throughout the song. Here it is, arranged for one guitar (I'm almost positive that on the record, it's two guitars playing in harmony):

E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----5----6---5---3---1---3---5----------------------------------
G----5----7---5---4---2---4---5----------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------
    C    G            C

Verse:

  G/D     F/D         C/D      C/G      G         F/G       C     G    C     (x2)
(B-D-G) (A-C-F)     (G-C-E)  (G-C-E)  (G-B-D)  
 Crui    sin  makes  some      peo    ple   get    up   tight

(^perhaps I went overboard there. A simpler version would be:

 Dm7                 G         F/G     C     G     C
Cruisin makes some people get   uptight


Pre-Chorus:

Fmaj7     Em7     Dm7     C
Fri      day       ni    ght

(x4)

 Bbmaj7        Am7          D7
..hours       crowd  ..     boor

             F/G                                   C    G    C
 But then I turned around and cast my eyes to the door


Chorus:

      G7
In a long flowing robe

    Fmaj7                     C
She appeared at the ballroom door

(x2)


That's it, actually. There isn't any new parts to the song after that, because the bridge is just the intro again, played on a piano instead of a clavinet. 

Hope this helps.
