G*: The G Chord in this song is a normal G but your finger positions move along one 
(So your little finger will be playing the 1st string at the third fret and so on) this is so your index 
finger can hammer and hold on the first fret of the B string. Listen to Paolo play to get a feel of when to 
do this. Look below at the diagram:

Am7*: There are a few parts where Paolo hammers on the first fret of the B string when playing the 
Am7 so just listen out for that in the link below if you want to get it spot on. 
Gmaj7*  This can be a little tricky to play but you can look at is a standard G but 
instead of playing the 1st string at the 3rd fret play it at the 2nd.

D7* This will require a hammer on the 3rd fret of the 1st string every now and then. (again, have 
a listen). If you have trouble with any of that check out the live performance by Paolo and see how he 
does it.
