(The high e sounds muted for most of the song.)
When he plays the Em6 chord he adds and removes a finger on the G string.
This is hard to explain so I'll show you, as this is repeated throughout the song.

Em6 C F/C (4x)
Em6 Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin
C That stuff tastes like medicine
But I'll F/Ctake it C
It'll Em6do
On the Em6couch in the living room all day long
MusCic on the television playing our song
I'm in the moF/Cod C
The mood for Em6you
Em6 C F (2x)
Em6 Turn the volume up real high
AlCl of that money look at it fly
And you smF/CokingC like a chimney Em6
Em6Shadows crawled across the living room's length
IC held onto you with a desperate strength
With eveF/CrythingC with everything iEm6n me
And I hDanded you a drink of a loCvely little thing
On Em6which our survival depends
DPeople say friends don't destCroy one another
What do they know about frDiends?
Em6 C F/C (4x)
Em6Thunderclouds forming cream white moon
EvCerything's going to be okay soon
Maybe tomF/Corrow C
Maybe the Em6next day
Em6Carried you up the stairs that night
All of Cthis could be yours if the price is right
I heard F/Ccars headed down to obClivion
Up on the expEm6ressway
DYour drunken kisses as light as the air
Maybe eCverything that falls down eventually rEm6ises
DOur house sinking into disrepair
Ah but loCok at this showroom filled with fabulous priEm6zes
