Notes:
On the pre chorus the Em9 looks like this
e|-------3-------------------|
B|------3--------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|-----2---------------------|
A|----2----------------------|
E|---------------------------|
When Mark plays his D he add his thumb on the top E string, and towards the end of while
he's playing the Cadd9 looks like this.\
e|---------------------------|
B|------3--------------------|
G|--------4------------------|
D|-----2---------------------|
A|----3----------------------|
E|---------------------------|
Strumming is all down strokes until the end where they sing the final part when they
sing "All these Times Are Hard.........." They use a mixture of up and down strokes. Just
watch Mark play that part and you should be able to work it out.
