4. You And Whose Army?

All these chords should be played as bar shapes, except E which is open. Most of the picking is straightforward enough if you give the song a listen. The only dodgy shapes are:
C#m/B - 7x665x
C#m/Bb - 6x6654
the C# at the end is not quite major or minor; try x466xx

D#m     G#   C#m      F#
