Chords

This is my first tab and I wanna give a try on figuring out the chords for The Subways's and lovely tune Strawberry Blonde (my fav track on their album "All or Nothing"). In fact the chords are a bit wrong, because there are variation chords, but I used kinda chords, so even amateurs are able to play along with the CD. Maybe I do the "original" version too one day... Capo: no Chords used: ------------ C* (032030) C (032010)
Em7 (022003)
Em/D(x20032)

[END] * All chords with a "*" I dunno the exact name, so please help me out! All helpers will credited ;) Of course all other mistakes u find will cause your name to be credited. Addition: I'm too tired now (it's 6:20 am) but I will add the guitar 2 riffs which are while guitar 1 plays B7 and also while guitar 1 plays the chorus chords when I get the time. Cheers!
