An option for the main chord progression,
adding some additional passing bass notes
Em Em/F# G G/B C B B/F# e|-----0----------3------|-----0-----2------| B|-----0----------3------|-----1-----4------| G|-----0----------0------|-----0-----4------| D|-----2----------0------|-----2-----4------| A|-----2----------2---2--|--3-----3--2------| E|--0------2----3--------|---------------2--|
This riff is simplified for additional guitar
accompaniment, the actual bass develops into a
walking bass line from the 3rd verse onwards.

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 four of the diagrams.
All the other chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
