NOTES:  Not so long ago I figured this song out using standard tuning.  I
since think I've gotten more or less the actual alternate tuning version
figured out, but I'm rather new to thing alternate tuning thing so I may
have some big mistakes.
On the middle part, play the notes shown but you can also continue to
strum a bit, especially where the chords are shown fully.
You may notice I included Em7 but it isn't mentioned in the song.  Add
this at the ends of lines (when you would be otherwise playing Em9) for a
little variety.
