CHORDS:	E=022100        A(9)=x07600 (slide up from E)
        D(9)=x00230     E/A=x02100 (same as Amaj9)
        B(4)=x24440 (I think Emily plays x99800)     A=x02220

The chords for the verse follow this strumming pattern, alternating
between E & A(9), which is a really easy transition.  The rhythm is
sorta tricky, but you should be able to get it right with a little 
practice.  (The funny symbols are semi-quavers and such.)
 |\          |\      |\  |\          |\      |\  |\  |\  |\  |\

 1       -       2       -       3       -       4       -

The strumming pattern for the D(9) and E/A chords in the chorus goes
like this:
 |\      |\  |\      |\  |\  |\      |\  |\  |\      |\  |\  |\
 |       |\  |       |\  |\  |       |\  |\  |       |\  |\  |\
