      Tune down a half step and then play with these chords as usual.
Acoustic -- play in arpeggio patterns (listen to this video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7HcW1bTF_I
Electric/Studio version: Mix between arpeggios and single strums; the main difference is that you play the
Am7 chord (see below) by picking the bass note twice followed by the rest of the chord. Play the chords on
the lines "necessary evil" in arpeggios too.

Suggested chord voicings (in order of appearance):

    Am7  Gadd9  Am7#5  Eadd9  A#add9  Fadd9/A*   Gm9   Bm7   Cm7   A**  A#** C**  Ebadd9
e|---x-----5------3-----2-------8--------5--------5-----x-----x----x----x----x------13----|
B|---5-----3------1-----0-------6--------6--------3-----7-----8----x----x----x------11----|
G|---5-----4------2-----1-------7--------5--------3-----7-----8----x----x----x------12----|
D|---5-----x------x-----x-------x--------5--------3-----7-----8----7----8----10-----x-----|
A|---x-----x------x-----x-------x--------x--------x-----x-----x----x----x----x------x-----|
E|---5-----3------1-----0-------6--------5--------3-----7-----8----5----6----8------11----|

* Fadd9/A: Not 100% sure about this one but it sounds/looks right and makes sense to me.
** A, A# and C: I think he just plays the two bass notes together; pluck them
   at the same time or in a rhythm if you like.
