Strumming

This song is in 3/4 time and the strumming sounds heavier than it is in actuality.
Also note that when playing the C chord in the verse, hammer on the first fret of the B string.
In the acoustic version - Zach plays a Dadd4add9/F# on the piano.

[Verse]
G          Dadd4add9    Em             C
You took a train to the south side of Boston,
    G               Dadd4add9    Em      C
You showed me where your old man stayed,
     G  Dadd4add9 Em          C
Took 28 years of blood I was lost in,
        G        Dadd4add9   Em  C
To feel loved on my own birthday,
  G      Dadd4add9     Em         C
I always felt like I's in between something,
     G             Dadd4add9  Em   C
Like home and somewhere far away,
    G              Dadd4add9      Em         C
But tonight on the west side in a bar out in Brooklyn,
G           Dadd4add9     Em   C
I saw tears outline your face,
 
[Chorus]
Em            D/F#
How lucky are we?
                     G                           C
It's been a hell of a week, but you're all grown now,
        Em             D/F#               G
There's smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
                    C
But you're home somehow,
 
[Break]

[Verse]
G         Dadd4add9       Em         C
I'll be upstairs with the guitar I's given,
     G        Dadd4add9   Em  C
When I was barely fourteen,
G          Dadd4add9  Em      C
When did McGlinchey's get so crowded,
    G           Dadd4add9       Em     C
And why are the crowds so damn green?
G         Dadd4add9   Em             C
I lost my mind on the streets of the city,
G       Dadd4add9     Em  C
Maybe I lost all hope too,
     G  Dadd4add9 Em            C
Took 28 years of blood pumping through me,
   G           Dadd4add9    Em  C
To get to this evening with you,
 
[Chorus]
Em            D/F#
How lucky are we?
                     G                          C
It's been a hell of a week, but we're all grown now,
        Em             D/F#                    G
There's smoke seeping out, of the bar down the street
                   C
But we're home somehow,
 
[Solo 1]
| Em | D/F# | G | C |
| Em | D/F# | G | C |
 
[Chorus]
Em            D/F#
How lucky are we?
                     G                          C
It's been a hell of a week, but we're all grown now,
        Em             D/F#                    G
There's smoke seeping out, of the bar down the street
                   C
But we're home somehow,
 
[Solo 2]

[Outro]
G          Dadd4add9    Em            C
You took a train to the south side of Boston,
    G               Dadd4add9        Em     C
You showed me where your whole heart stayed,
     G            Dadd4add9  Em            C
Took twenty-eight years of blood pumpin' through me,
   G             Dadd4add9    Em C
To feel loved on my own birthday

I think the first Em chord in the chorus is played before the lyric is sung. I also noticed in the first verse, the fifth line, the Dmaj7 chord should be over "felt" instead of "like"
