I was just cruising by this section and I saw this song by Tears which I've been playing on guitar for a few years. I checked out the chords and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that they're a little different than previously posted (at least the key is right!) Wherever it is written E minor, the band actually plays Emin9 (a much richer sounding chord). Also, the G in those verses are actually Gmaj7. Finally, the A which follows the G (actually Gmaj7) is really an A6, which is not surprising since the opening riff of the song is a sixth arpeggio over the A. No need to tune down either, since the bass string is played open on the Eminor9
