IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Cdim7  = xx1212   G7   = 353433   Cm6   = xx5545
C#dim7 = xx2323   D/F# = xx4232   Bdim7 = xx0101

Cm     = x35543   Cm7  = x35343   F#    = 244322
N.C. = No chords
Only a bass guitar accompanies on the first half of
the Coda. I would mute all the strings with the
chord hand and strum a 'scrub' rhythm,
but I include some chords in brackets if preferred.
