The intro and coda (outro) of this song has what
sounds like a G/F#, which is between the G and Em.
As both of these parts are piano and the F# note
is not very noticeable, I have left it off. If you
want to play it, either play a barre G, then slide
your index finger down to the second fret (F#), or
try this one for the G/F#:
xx4433
If using that G/F#, you may find it best to play this G:
xxx433
Alternately, you may also opt not to play the G/F# -
just let the G chord ring over the G/F# and then play
the Em when it comes up. If someone figures out a
different or better way to do it, please pass it along.
