G+G    E minor 7Em7       D MajorD

*
In this version I decided to not use 1st string
Fingers will work only in between fret 1-3
Example
G+G   = 32003x
E minor 7Em7  = 02000x
Bm7Bm7  = x2023x
D MajorD   = xx023x
Cmaj7Cmaj7 = x3200x
A7A7  = x0202x
Except in Chorus phase
B(m7) = x20202
B7B7  = x21202

**
D/C in Verse phase is holding D MajorD chord and add C majorC note
Like D MajorD = xx023x to D/C = x3023x

***
Same as D/C D/B D/AD/A in Chorus phase
D MajorD  = xx023x
D/C = x3023x
D/B = x2023x
D/AD/A = x0023x

****
In Chorus phase in between C majorC to G+G
You can add BB note to C majorC chord
(just drop your ring finger in 5th string from fret 3 to 2)
Why... (E minorEm = 02200x)
was... (Bm7Bm7 = x2023x)
she  (C majorC  = x3021x)
all  (C/BC/B = x2021x)
alone (G+G  = 32003x)

*****
Original version seem to use standard tuning
