precise to the studio recording, but it's darn close. Here are the shapes John uses: EADGBE A: x02220 E: 476454 D: 557775 D6: 557777 Bm: 799777 (sometimes he plays 797779) Bm7: x24232 C#m7: x46454 F#m: 244222
... Though, for most of those chords, the standard shapes sound fine, too. Also, the D6 can be substituted with a standard D and still sound good. (Personally, I like substituting a Dmaj7, played like this: xx0222.)
