I was just cruising by this section and I saw this song by Tears which

I've been playing on guitar for a few years. I checked out the chords

and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that they're a little different

than previously posted (at least the key is right!)

Wherever it is written E minor, the band actually plays Emin9 (a much

richer sounding chord). Also, the G in those verses are actually

Gmaj7. Finally, the A which follows the G (actually Gmaj7) is really

an A6, which is not surprising since the opening riff of the song is

a sixth arpeggio over the A. No need to tune down either, since the

bass string is played open on the Eminor9
