   We'll define 2 more part numbers:

E  |   0      |            | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 | 
B  |   4-HO-5 |            | 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 |

        IV                         V           

1st Verse:  Chords    E | F# | G | A |

I think that the rhythm chords are played like this:

E  0    0 0 0 0   0  0 0 0 0  0  0 0 0 0  0  x x  0  0                | 
B  0    0 0 0 0   0  0 0 0 0  0  0 0 0 0  0  x x  0  0                | 
G  1    1 1 1 1   3  3 3 3 3  4  4 4 4 4  6  x x  6  4                | 
D  2    2 2 2 2   4  4 4 4 4  5  5 5 5 5  7  x x  7  5                | 
A  2    2 2 2 2   4  4 4 4 4  5  5 5 5 5  7  x x  7  5                | 
E  0    0 0 0 0   2  2 2 2 2  3  3 3 3 3  5  x x  5  3                |
