Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 - 022033
Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 - x02233
Chord diagramCadd9Cadd9 - x32033
Chord diagramG+G - 320033
G/F# - 200033
Chord diagramG/BG/B - x2x033

I mapped out all the chord changes, but a lot of them are a single strum used to walk up or down
between chords. For example, the Chord diagramG/BG/B is a single walk up between the Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 and Cadd9,
and the Chord diagramG+G to Chord diagramE minor 7Em7 is the repeating little riff throughout - a quick strum of the G, a quick strum of
the Em7, then ringing out the Em7.

If any of this needs clarification, feel free to ask, but it's really pretty easy.
