Not sure about the main chordprogression. It tabbed it out as G-Em-G-Em-G-Em-B-C-B-C. I somehow feel it isn't right. I first thought the B was an A-chord, but that didn't fit perfectly either.

So what do you guys think?

After playing it a hundred times, I'm thinking instead of a normal B chord, a B7 in the main chord progression, which gives us G-Em-G-Em-G-Em-B7-C-B7-C
