These chords work great with me. I normally pick them like it's done
in the song but you could strum them too, I guess.

mayrabeat C am7 Em G is the correct progression. I have the score! Also the Em-ish chord is an Em+5 (like the Em7 is an Em plus the 7th, this is an Em plus the 5th) The C is x32013 The G is 320033 The Cma7 is 332000 The Em at the end of the Am7 Am6 Em7 Em6 Em5 Em is played 022000 If you're picking it, the pattern is: E = eighth note S = sixteenth note e s s s s e e s s s s e e x---------------x--------------- B ----------x---------------x----- G ------x---------------x--------- D ----x-------x-------x-------x--- A x---------------x--------------- E --------x---------------x------- 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a When picking: 1 - instead of A7 play A - 577655 2 - the C chord is 332013 but it's easier to just move your 3rd finger down to the 6th string, 3rd fret when you need to hit that bass note

good job. thanks for posting this -- probably the best of the versions on UG.

So the comment I have is simply: Half of what I say is meaningless Half of what I say is meaning less Lennon slays me
