(Gordon Tracks/JB Dunckel/N Godin)
From: "The Virgin suicides - Original Motion Picture Score"
A fascinating song! The chords are multi-layered and some of them are
not easy to play on a guitar But using a capo helps a lot. I think
what I've got here is pretty close, although there are chords about
which I'm not a 100% sure. Suggestions are highly welcome!

The Am9 is a tough one. Below, you can find some alternative voicings
(barree 5th fret + open A-string), which might be helpful. It is also
possible to leave out the 7th (g) and play Am(add9), which makes it a
little easier.

Am6 x-0-2-2-1-2 or x-0-7-5-7-5
Am9 x-0-2-4-1-3 or x-0-5-5-5-7 or x-0-2-4-1-0 (= Am(add9))
