Love this song.
I'll admit chords are probably not exact as Suzanne adds quite a few funny chords,
but these ones fit the song!
For the chords on the verses, some fingerpulling is required.
Just pluck the three highest strings!
Capo on three (or two, if that suits your voice better)!
Chords -
Em * (xxx453) (Basically Dm moved up two)
D (xxx232)
C (x32010)
Cadd9 (x32033)
Em7 (x22033)
Em * is an Em chord, but it's a variation. Hence, the asterisk!
