(However, I think that alternative D7 (x545x5) sounds better than xx0212.) Timing is 4/4. INTRO: Notes: In the Bm measure, you're only lifting off your index finger but this changes the chord name. Don't panic. You're back on Bm an off-beat later. For that D7, and the toggle to D7/6, it might be more easily played as a barré (x57575 to x57577 and back). Just a suggestion. D7/6 is U.S. notation for D7add6.
