( i usually just play the verse chords here . . . sooo . . . . Em , C , G , D and i usually
play it twice , very loudly to emphasize the power that i cant really tab on an acoustic
guitar – and on the last D , i hold it out an extra measure and add in a suspension , so
it’s more like A Dsus2 chord : D )
