Boy in the Waterwell

Chords used:

Em [0 2 2 0 0 0]
Em6add9 [0 4 4 0 0 0]
D6add11 [x 5 4 0 0 5]
C7M [x 3 2 0 0 3]
Am [x 0 2 2 1 0]
C [x 3 2 0 1 0]
D [x x 0 2 3 2]
G [3 5 5 4 3 3]
F [1 3 3 2 1 1]
Bb/F[1 1 3 3 3 x]

Some of these chords have really terrifying names, but they are all very easy to fret, and shouldn't be much of a problem at all. Changing between Em and Em6add9 is done by sliding, same goes for the D6add9 and C7M change.

Intro:
Em-Em-Em6add9-Em6add9 (2x)

Verse:

Just four measures repeated.
First measure: Em
Second measure: Em6add9
Third measure: D6add11
Fourth measure: two beats C7M, two beats Am (sometimes C)

Chorus:
G-F-C-C (3x)
Bb/F-Bb/F-Am-Am

Solo
D-D-C-C (3x)
end with Bb-Am, using E and Em barre shapes at 6th and 5th fret?

End on Em.

notes: this is what I play, I haven't been able to find a live recording or anything, and some chords might be off. I don't know what the solo really is. Let's just wait for the real tabs to emerge. I'm not too sure about the C7M and D6add9 chords, but I use them in another song I am practicing, and they seem to fit right in here. If you can correct anything, please do!
