I know there is an ever-growing debate on whether or not Kurt used E or Em.
I use E because I think it sounds closer to the acustic sound on the CD, but Em
 works just as well. Im not 100% sure about the chord names, but what the hell! 
Im not perfect, so please tell me of any mistakes that I might have made. 
Listen to the CD for the number of times Kurt plays the chords. 
If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me @ Boredcrazy14@AOL.com. 
As Kurt once said- The sun is gone, but I have a light. PEACE~
