Guitar chords with lyrics

GALILEO (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------

[Amy plays this in E, capoed up 1 to F.  Emily plays it in C with a
 capo on the fifth fret and her guitar tuned to DADGBC.  I'm going to
 write down Emily's chords, because they're easier and more interesting.
 If you want to play Amy's chords, you can figure them out; since it's
 in E, there are a lot of barre chords.]
[Actually, when I play this, I usually just play Emily's chords, but
 in standard tuning so I don't put my high E in danger of breaking when
 I tune back up.  If you play in standard tuning, play the verse as
 C G F G7-G6; it's pretty easy to play the G7 - G6 part, as long as
 you play G as 320003 with your pinky on the high E string.  Just play
 Em(C)/B as Em, and play D13 as D or D11 (554030).]

[Each chord is half a measure, except "G7 - G6" is half a measure _total_.]

CHORDS (tuning is DADGBC):

C: x32010    Gsus: 5x0030    F6(9): 3x0010    G7: 5x0035    G6: 5x0034
Am: x02210   Em(C)/B: x22000*   D13: 009900   F/A: x03210   F#dim/A: x04210

*this should probably be called Cmaj7/B, but in the context, it sounds more
 like E minor, so I'm calling it "E minor with an added C (and B bass)."
