Chords used: 
 G:320003 
 C:X32010 
 D:XX0232 
 Em:022000 
 G/B:X20033 
 Am:X02210

Notes:  I normally play this acoustic and without an instrumental
break/solo, so that's how I have it laid out here...After the last two
choruses, I play the intro progression through once and end on G...a '|'
denotes a measure break...this is one of my faves off of NME...I hope
some others out there appreciate it, too...enjoy--Mike
