IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.

G6    = 355430 or 320030
F#m11 = x44200 or 202200
Dmaj7 = xx0222
Em7   = 075700 or 022030

Please take a second to swipe down to the bottom of
the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks
