this out using barre chords on a guitar missing it's D string (hence the slightly odd chord\r\nintonations), but if you prefer to play open you can do so by using the standard open chord intonations and\r\nsubstituting the Bm for a Em7/B [x20030]\r\n\r\nYou might also like to play around with adding a 7th to the Em or some other flourish there when there's a\r\ntransition?\r\n\r\nYou can let the top E ring open as a pedal tone/droning note throughout the song, or vary using it along\r\nwith changing the strumming/picking pattern to fit the mood of the section if you want - I tried a kind of\r\nalternate picking of the root (bass) note with dyads of the next root note + 3rd for the intro, plucked\r\nchords (all strings simultaneously) for the chorus, then arpeggiated chords for the verse, and finally just\r\nthe root notes before going back to the plucked chords for the outro.\r\n\r\nCheck the song for the rhythm;)\r\n\r\n[ch]C[/ch]      [x3x550]\r\n[ch]Bm[/ch]     [x2x43x]  (or
