Chords

From the "Everything in Transit" album As interpreted by Joe G This is a great song to play, easy chords too. The Chords are: C: X32010
G:        320003
G/F#:     2X0003 (use your thumb!)
Em: 022000 D: XX0232 Dsus2: XX0230 Dsus2/F#: 2X0230 (use your thumb!)
Am:       X02210
And an asterisk (*) next to a chord means add the third fret on high e. So C* would be
of x32010. D* would be xx0233 which is technically called Dsus4, but why more than I to? And if you didn't already know, a / after a chord means a different bass note. So G/F# bass is F#, so it's 2X0003 or 220003 if you want. I'm showing the intro a little more detailed than the rest of the song, but if you can the intro, you'll get the idea through the rest. Intro: C C* C* C* G G G G/F# Em Em* Em* Em* D* D Dsus2 D C C* C* C* G G G G/F# Em Em* Em* Em* D* D [into verse]
