PLAYING TECHNIQUE:
Play the E7 with the middle, ring and pinky fingers so that when
you switch to Em7 you can do it by lifting your pinky off the
B string and putting your index finger on the 3rd fret of that
string.
Where you see A(add D)-A or A-A(add D), you should alternate
between these two chords in the order specified, 2 beats per
chord. Sometimes one chord is first, sometimes the other. Do
it until the next indicated chord change.
There are a few places where you'll see A6, then A'. It's hard
to hear in the recording whether this is done consistently or
not (mostly because of the distortion on Tim's guitar). Do it
all the time, or none of the time or where marked, or where
you feel like it. I wouldn't be surprised if Robyn just does
what he feels like at the time.
If you're tough enough, you ought to play the Bm as a full
barre, but you can just leave out the 2 bottom strings if you
have to. I've shown the Bm voicing as a partial barre only.
Overall, the fuzz guitar makes some of the voicings indistinct
enough to be unimportant.
