capo 2

i made up the notation because the chord names were long ( Em7sus4 )
and frequent . heres the deal : you start the measure with a down
strum on G or Em7 . then strum up on the next beat to accent the root
note an octave up , then you add an a note and strum up to accent ,
and then add the A B and strum up .

G = 3200xx ( down strum ) Em7 = 0200xx ( down strum )
^ = 3200xx ( up strum ) ^ = 0200xx ( up strum )
^a = 3202xx ( up strum ) ^a = 0202xx ( up strum )
^b = 32020x ( up strum ) ^b = 02020x ( up strum )

you should mess around with the way you strum to fit the music and
not just strum on the beats . selectively play the high and low part
of the chord , or switch to finger picking . notes at the bottom .

other chords you might want to know :
G/B = x2000x Gadd9 = 32020
