*   Alternate the B7(Open E) and the B7 in the verse.
**  When playing Em in the bridge, you can alternate the chord by holding B string
(3rd Fret) and high E string (3rd fret) back and forth.
*** I am well aware the last line of the bridge has a variance on the C to D. I
found this the easiest way to play it however.
