Chords

It was pointed out to me that the G chord is actually a Gm. That's subtle because the way it's shown there's no 3rd in it, but if you add a minor 3rd it works whereas a major 3rd does not. So for G use 3x0030 OR 3x0330 (technically it's a Gm6 chord). It's a different Gm in the Bridge. Check those specific Bridge chord voicings!
