“Grey Room” by Damien Rice off the Album “9”
Chords:
C/G:  332010
F:    133211
Em:   022000
G:    355433
Notes on strumming:
There are lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs in this song.  In general:
When he plays the C/G chord, he does the hammer-ons and pull-offs with the open D string 
the E note on the second fret.
When he plays the F chord, he does the hammer-ons and pull-offs with the open G string 
the A note on the second fret.
During the verse, right before you change from the F chord back to the C/G, he does a 
pull-off with the F chord like it's described above.
If you want to keep the F bass note on that F chord, you could play it with your thumb 
I like to do to keep a nice, full sound (plus it's cool to play with your thumb).
So it goes like this:
C/G chord hammer-on:
E|--0-0-----|
B|--1-1-----|
G|--0-0-----|
D|--0h2-----|
A|--3-3-----|
E|--3-3-----|

I tried to get the chord placements right with the lyrics, but they might be off a bit, 
you know how it goes...
