No worries. 320010 as it's a combination of what's listed in the book for each chorus for the Gtr. I part, but adding the 3 in the bass. I hadn't looked quite as closely and you're right about the pull-offs . x32013-x32003 works because it leads to the G chords you just listed (320013-320003) nicely. Considering Alex mentioned there being a bunch of mistakes in the book, particularly with chord naming as I've noticed, for acoustic performances, definitely go with what you've got there. :-)

Performances/recordings aren't super strict and consistent but it's not supposed to be. I watched one where he uses chord shapes similar to what you just mentioned but then went to Cadd9 G Am Fmaj7/C for the last 2 times through like in this video. While you're right about the Fmaj7/C being in I'd say the "correct" (used loosely of course) sound has the 1 on the low E-string, or just having a bass player or another guitarist do it. :-P

This is fun. Glad you pointed me to the videos so I could take a closer look. :-)

I try to write chords of Anything right now. Euphoria for one acoustic guitar:

Tuning: Eb
C x32013
Csus2/B x2001x (may be Cadd9/B x20010)
G 320033
F7M/C x33210
Em/D x55430

Intro: C Csus2/B Am G F7M/C

C
When you take a breath
Csus2/B Am F7M/C
But you can't you hold it in
C Csus2/B
When you try to live
Am F7M/C Em/D
But don't know where to begin
C Csus2/B
When there's no hope left
Am F7M/C
No place you can go
C
Look inside your heart
Csus2/B Am F7M/C
Close your eyes and you'll know...
Em/D
Yeah
G
It's euphoria
Am
Out of the blue
Into the light
F7M/C G
Let it shine down all over you
Am F7M/C Em/D
You gotta give love to get love
In Euphoria
Under the moon
Take in the night
Let each day
Start yourself anew
You gotta give love to get love
Like a piece of glass
That's washed in from the sea
You can't taste the good
Unless you’re willing to bleed
So just take a chance
You're ready to fly
Feel what it is
To be alive...

Chorus x2.

In Euphoria \3 times
You gotta give love to get love /

v^v^v^V
^ - up
v - down
V - strong down

I'm going to suggest that whenever anyone sees Fmaj7/C being played, that if you're playing solo try and use your thumb to make it a regular Fmaj7 by having it on the 1st fret of the low E:
0
1
2
3
3
1
Still got that major 7th in there but it'll sound better with the root in the bass. In most cases it makes more sense that way, particularly compared to the 2nd inversion of the chord (sorry if some of that makes no sense). :-)

And whenever you see Csus2/B, this is more just music theory and might look like nitpicking but it's actually a Gadd11/B. Same notes, but definitely the appropriate name for the chord in this context. :-)

Please, explain to me why? If it isn't too much trouble for you :)

Sure thing. I'm not sure how much it'll make sense but I'll just try and explain in context.
Using C Major as an example (because we're looking at Euphoria), the chords that are part of the scale are as follows:
I C
ii Dm
iii Em
IV F
V G
vi Am
viio Bdim (usually the o is smaller and looks like the sign for degrees).

As far as analyzing Euphoria goes, if I take C Gadd11/B Am Fmaj7/C, if I analyze as is I'd get
I V6add11, vi, and IVmaj4/3 (it'd look different in a textbook, it's just difficult to type some of the symbols), don't worry about all the numbers and adds and stuff, just look at the roman numerals.
If I left the second chord as Csus2/B you'd be telling me it's a I chord, sort of with a bunch of weird alterations that I'd have to get a little too creative in notating, and more importantly it doesn't SOUND like a I chord with a bunch of alterations. When breaking this song down to the heart of it, it's a I V vi IV (C G Am F) progression for a big chunk of it.

Try singing Euphoria and Wherever You Will Go over the music playing in this video. You might be amused.

Personally I don't have any problem with the fact that the progression's used a lot. It works.

Anyway, if this makes sense, awesome. If it doesn't make sense I understand because I don't know what you do/don't know when it comes to this or whether you need more info to understand it. :-)
