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 ---- of the diagrams.
All the other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting. As long
as you are logged into your account, these choices
will be saved automatically for every time you view
this tab.
G Csus2/G E7
<5 of 27> <4 of 20> <8 of 47>
Cm/G A7sus2 E4
<2 of 15> <3 of 14> <3 of 25>
Below would be the selections for the diagrams for
the Intro and Verse 1, but unfortunately only one
diagram per chord name can be displayed, and these
are a higher inversions of chords that also appear
in the Choruses.
