For the last lines, I like Cm G D G (or Cm G D D for the next-to-last line0)—it works better for me.

I play this in the style of a waltz, for each chord first playing the bass note with my right hand thumb (p) and then plucking the upper three strings twice with my index, middle and ring finger (i, m, a). For the lines that go B7-D-G-D-Em-G, I play the same style but: - On B7, I use the D-string as the base, - Instead of playing the first G, I pluck a single 2nd fret on the A string - Instead of the Em chord I play an open A string This seems to work nicely for me.

I feel like D7 should be D#m
