... and here's a version I picked up from the net some time ago.  I think,
from what I can remember from listening to the song, that this version is
more accurate.  I also have a couple of comments about your chord diagrams
below...

    This is a G major chord.  It does not have the 6th degree of the G major
scale to make it a G6.  To add it, press with your pinky the B string on the
5th fret and mute the D string it was playing:
EADGBE
11x111 <- 3rd fret

      This is an Eb#9.  The 9th degree is on the B string played with the
4th finger (the pinky).  If the B string was played on the 6th fret instead
of the seventh, the chord would be an Eb9, the same as you described  in
your post.


Dream on...  :-)
