Who would stand?

NOTE:
This is Ultimate Guitar. To make this song playable
by a guitarist, some doubtful chords were removed from
the standard tabs after diligently comparing them with
recorded version.

On occasion notes sung by the singers are added to the
chord name, for example: making a G/F (G over F) when
the band only plays the G chord. While the singers began
in an F to move up to G, I am of the opinion the 
tabs should only reflect the recorded music.

BLATANT OPINION:
This tendency of adding vocal notes to tab chords 
is a traditional hold-over from scoring piano music.
Piano players can provide bass notes, mid-range chords
along with the melody if unaccompanied by a vocalist.
The chords provided above more closely reflect the
band arrangement.
