=====================================================
VERSION II:
Capo at 5th fret
(Will then sound in the original key of Am)
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the very bottom of the page.
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em7 = 022030 B7 = x2120x
A6 = x02222 Emadd9 = x22002 or 024000
Bbdim7 = x12020
N.C. = No chords ^ = Emphasise the beats
The B7 is better if you don't hit the top F# note
