Just a few notes about this one.
The song is in 6/8 time and uses a lot of passing tones in the bass to support the chord changes. Listen to a live recording to get the feel if it's too ambiguous on the recorded version.
In the chorus there is an F# in parentheses which indicates that this is a passing tone and not a chord. Just play the low F# on the 2nd fret of the low E string to connect the E major chord to the G chord.
