For what it's worth, the F chord near the beginning is really something else if it's played as written, since it's got an E and a B in it. The next two chords are G7 and B7, but like most of the song they're not played with their most common voicing - which I guess is why this is a tab and not just a chord listing, even though it's chords all the way! 075000 is Em, then we get a weird run something along the lines of Em-Emmaj7-Em7-Em6. The chords in the chorus are mostly just thirds (I had to look them up to confirm my guess about how to write them, because I've never come across these on the guitar before at all) - C3 D#3 D3 C#3 C3 and then, lordy, C37?
