I since think I've gotten more or less the actual alternate tuning version figured out, but I'm rather new to thing alternate tuning thing so I may have some big mistakes. On the middle part, play the notes shown but you can also continue to strum a bit, especially where the chords are shown fully. You may notice I included Em7 but it isn't mentioned in the song. Add this at the ends of lines (when you would be otherwise playing Em9) for a little variety. (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
