And what if it makes you sad at me

So for this song, I have made two different versions of the chords. The first
which I call the "muting version" is how the singer plays it,
and the "chord version" is for those of you who want to be able to play it without
having to mute strings.
Some of the chord names have been slightly simplified, further explanations
follows within the second set of brackets for those of you who are interested.
Chords - Muting version:
[ch]Gadd2[/ch] (5 X 0 4 0 0)
Aadd4 (7 X 0 6 0 0) (In reality also a no5)
Bm7 (9 X 0 7 0 0) (In reality also a no5)
C#m (11 X 0 9 0 0) (In reality also a #5 with an added D note)
D (12 X 0 11 0 0)
Chords - Chord version:
[ch]Gadd2[/ch] (5 5 0 4 0 0)
Aadd4 (7 7 0 6 0 0)
Bm7 (9 9 0 7 0 0)
C#m (11 11 0 9 0 0) (In reality also with added A and D notes, if you decide
D (12 12 0 11 0 0) not to mute the open strings)
Clarification:
Chordname (E A D G B E) which is now tuned to (D A D G A D)
X = Don't play / Muffle
Free papers for this song are available in .pdf on my website, you can find the
link in the description on the YouTube tutorial.
Among the papers available are Lyrics & Chords, Lyrics & Chords plus (with added
beats per chord), Chord Diagrams and Playing Patterns (strumming).
If you need further help or explanations don't hesitate to ask, if it's a subject
where other people may benefit from the answer it's best done
by posting a comment on the tutorial, but posts here and personal messages will
also be answered (though not as fast)!
