Whatever\r\none calls the chord, I wouldn't suggest playing a standard Em shape (0-2-2-0-0-0)\r\nbecause the \"e\" is just hinted at in the bass line and the guitars do not follow \r\nthis \"hint\" with a full blown chord change. To my ears, the G and the following \r\nG6/Em chord have a lot in common, so I wouldn't highlight the subtle difference \r\ntoo much by using a full Em voicing - the hint is enough to me (see my playing \r\nsuggestion for the verse pattern in the tab section below). I use the chord name \r\nG6/E just to remind the player of this.
