{The following chords are a combination of the harmony
as well as the melodic line on the G-string.
Since the harmony only changes twice, I just assigned numbers 1-3
to each chord for each melodic note.}

G(2) - 5x42xx
G(3) - 5x44xx
Em(1) - 2x40xx

G/D - xx543x
Bm/F# - xx4(4)3x {The (4) is implied. It can be played if you want.
My preference is to omit it.}
Aadd9/E - xx242x
Dmaj7add6 - xx0(4)2x {See note above about implied (4).}
=====
{The following chords reflect the harmony as well as
the other guitar fill that shifts between A and F# on the high e string.
Listen to the part in the song and you can hear the pattern of how it's played.
I just named the chord the overall harmony plus (A) in parenthesis to denote
the pattern of switching between the two listed chords.}
