I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the main CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow
the information at the bottom of the tab.
E * = xx999x D = xx0232 Am = x02210
E = 022100 Amaj7 = x02224 Am/G = 302210
A4 = x02230 F#m11 = xx4200 D/F# = 20023x
F#m = 244222 B = x24442 G/B = x20033
E7 = 022130 C = x35553 C/G = 332010
E6 = 022120 G = 355433 D/E = 000232

The A4 and E7 in the verses are quick passing chords
[Optional Bridge chords]
On the track the acoustic guitar goes from a D to an
A major chord twice. The chords in brackets are an
option to emulate David's saxophone progression.
(Dmaj7) = xx0222 (D(b5) = xx0234 (Amaj7) = x02120
(Dsus2) = xx0230 (D5) = xx0235

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below eight of the diagrams.
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every
time you view this tab
E7 E6 Amaj7 C G
<7 of 47> <2 of 59> <2 of 39> <3 of 17> <4 of 27>
D/F# G/B D5
<7 of 20> <2 of 21> <8 of 12>
For the D(b5) there is no exact matching diagram
so please follow the voicing in my chord legend.
For the F#m11 the closest diagram match is <2 of 6>
but you don't need to play the 6th string.
Alternatives:
F#m11 = xx4200 or x04200 or x44200 would all work
