(barre the 3rd fret with index and place fingers 2-3 and 4
on the indicated frets)

There's also a sliding riff on the G after the Em in the pre-chorus
This could be off, but it should be close enough.

G|--12/7---------------------------------| use 3nd finger throughout
D|--------7/9----------------------------|
