Notes:
On that C/Em/Am/G thing that's all in one measure ("where he
liked to be"), I think it might just be a pair of C chords, 
and I'm just hearing a walkdown from C down to G in the bass,
in other words:

     C   Em?   Am?   G
A ---3----2----0---------
E -------------------3---

On some of the Am's, I like to pick up my finger off of the
D string and put it right back down, again, something that I
don't think Michael's actually playing, but something that I
think sounds sort of cool in there.  I picked up this trick
from REM's "Swan Swan H." (in 3/4 time -- maybe that's why I 
think it sounds good).
