The quick (G/B) play as just a passing bass note only [Intro, Break & Coda] [Verses] Amadd9 = x07500 C = x32010 Am = x02210 Cmaj7 = x35500 Em/B = x22000 Am7 = x02010 (G/B) = x2xxxx (G/B) = x2xxxx [Choruses] [Bridge] Em = x79987 or 022000 Ab = 466544 B = 799877 or x35553 Eb = x68886 Am = 577555 or x02210 G = 355433 Am7 = 575555 or x02010 An alternative to the Am7 in the Verses is to play it adding the bass G note (Am7/G = 302010). You could also do this in the Choruses if you use 1st inversion shapes rather than the barre chords.
