!		Sometimes B is played with only the 4 bottom strings
		/ /- -/-
>		  B           E7         F#7
		[--7--       --7--       --0--

		--0--       --0--       --6--
		--0--       --6--       --0--
		--6--       --7--       --x--
		--7--       --x--       --x--]

!		Sometimes  is played like this, except first  of the verse:
