I've been listening to this song like a madman, trying to transcribe it correctly and I think I've finally got it right. Few notes: 1. When you see 'Em Em2' you strum Em once and then start strumming Em2. 2. Sometimes you can hear a second guitar picking something when the main guitar is strumming Em2. You can hear it for instance in verse 2. What the second guitar is doing there is just picking out random notes from that VERY strange chord Em9 (024030). It took me a LONG time to figure that one out. This chord is also used in the bridge, I've tabbed it out for you there.
