some suggestions on how to play the chords!

G6 (320000@1)       Aadd9 (x02420@1)

Guitar melody backing:
G6  Aadd9  Dmaj9  G6 (x2)

He came to get away 
He came to get over it
Sunglasses and his radio,
Chilling, and a head swaying to-and-fro
Whoa! 
Soul Rebel in stereo

You bring the ocean, I'll bring emotion
Together we'll make a love potion
You bring the ocean, I'll bring the motion
Dancing all night in slow motion

[Guitar melody]

He came to get away, 
He came to get over her
Laptop and his cell phone,
Floating in the ocean 'til he's all alone
Whoa! 
Soul Rebel in stereo

[Chorus]

[Guitar melody]

***********************************************************************************

These are the chords I use to play this song:
G6:          Aadd9:       Dmaj9:       F#7/C#:      Fmaj7/C:     
3-5-5-4-0-0  5-7-7-6-0-0  x-5-4-6-5-0  x-4-4-3-2-0  x-3-3-2-1-0  
E:           G6/D:
0-2-2-1-0-0  x-5-5-4-3-0

However, there is an easier way to play the main chords if you find these difficult:
G6:            A(not (x02220@1)add9):  Dmaj9(no3): (xx4220@1)3-x-0-0-3-0    x-0-2-2-2-0    x-x-0-2-2-0
