This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine...

But C#/E   ,  C/Eb    etc for the third and fourth lines  ?????

If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass ?

If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts :

    Em7                    B/D#             Dm7                A/C#
you wouldn't even know  a diamond  if  you held  it  in your  hand



Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this
line is Ok.

Chord shapes :

   EADGBE     EADGBE    EADGBE    EADGBE
   x79787     x6987x    x57565    x4765x
 
    Em7        B/D#       Dm7      A/C#
