Because some of the chords are inconveniently long to write and very frequent, we shall utilize the following
shorthand:
 Cmaj7/G= C*: 332000
 C/G= C**: 332010
D6/9add11/A = D*: 554000
D9add11/A = D**: 554030
Further chords:
Bmadd11: x24430
Em*: 022003
Gmaj7: 354433
Em7: 022030
Bm11/F#: 220200
Bm/F#: 224432
Bm(b13): x24032 (use arched index barre)
Bsus4: x24400
The strumming pattern is an approximation; I would recommend strumming only from the second verse.
