  Chord fingerings:

  

  EADGBe

  022000 - Em

  X02220 - A

  X21202 - B7 

  X79987 - Em(VII)

  x57775 - D(V)

  002220 - A/E

  320003 - G

  X32010 - C

  355433 - G(III)

  2X0010 - C/F#

  XX0232 - D

  X02210 - Am

  X24442 - B

  797877 - B7(VII)

  

  * play Em with your 3rd & 4th fingers, then slide those upto the 4th fret

  

  

  Bend notation :

  

    / 

  x(y)   fretted at x, pick and bend upto y

  

     

  x(y)x  fretted at x, pre-bent (to y), pick and release bend back down to x

  

  

  h is a hammer on

  p is a pull-off

  sl is a slide

  ^v^v^v^v  is tremolo (?with a wang bar)

  

  

  I'm not at all sure about the C/F# and in theory, the Bs and As should all be

  minor chords, but it doesn't sound right like that. Any suggestions welcome.
