Em A D B

Bridge: Stars all ...

G A D/C/G/ / /D/C/D

THE SLACKS (also from Across the Universe)

Very simple - no point in creating a separate file:

Verse and Chorus are all G / D / A
Except that the final line of the chorus ("...we did a dance..")
is Em / G / A

In the very beginning when its all acoustic, it sounds like the chords
are strummed at the base of the fretboard, and the D is played with
the first finger barring the top four string on the 2nd fret, the 2nd
finger on the B string fret 3, and the 3rd finger on the D string fret
4. This way, going from D to A involves just releasing fingers 2 and
3 and pulling the strings. You can hammer on with the two fingers to
go back from A to D, and play with it a little to make each of the
lines at the beginning of the song slightly different

"D" "A"
E|----2 ----0
B|----3 ----2
G|----2 ----2
D|----4 ----2
A|---- x ----x
E|---- x ----x

At the end of the chorus when they do Em/G/A, on the low E string play
the notes E--F--G when going from Em to G.
