Can't believe how long ago I posted this tab now (6 years!). Anyways, since then I've played the song for a long time now with all barre chords, save the open Em and with a regular G barre. I guess I actually power them all more now so don't notice (G is actually 3554xx not the G6 listed, if played full it'd be 355433). Guess the message now is not to stress over it, just play the song and enjoy! Thanks for props on ratings over years!
