[...] the Asus4 - C
progression sounds very wrong. (No ideas, for now, as to what the C
should be.)

    In your chords for "Session Man" section, I believe
that the Bm that appears over the word "think" should
actually be a G.  Give it a try and see if you agree!

 "Session Man" is correct except for three things. At the
end of the song the guy who put the tab together comments that in place
of the Bm he's thinking a G should be there. He's right. Second, he
says that in the chorus, he's not sure what chord belongs where the C
is. For years I've been using a D9sus4 in the fifth fret position
omitting the two end strings (1st and 6th) and it hasn't failed me yet.
Last, in the "he's a session man-a chord progression..." section,
instead of a proper Asus4, I would like to suggest a form of it wherein
you combine an A chord and a D chord, simply a matter of bringing the A
note on the E string down to the Gb note so that the combination of notes to
build the chord becomes A, E, A, D, Gb. To my ears, this has always
worked.
