I read the tabs here and watched the videos, but I'm trying to get this version down

I figured this out a few years back when I bought the video
"Don't Look Back". You see Dylan detune and some fingerings
when he plays "Baby Blue" for Donovan in the hotel. (By the
way, in "Don't Look Back" Dylan capos 2, but Donovan's guitar
is tuned 1/2 tone below concert, so capo 1 to play along
with the video.)
Bringing It All Back Home version
Capo 4, top E tuned down to C
Note-> CADGBe
++++++
C: 032010
Csus4: 033010 (add the little finger on the 4th string)
G: 220000 (actually an Em7, but this is what he plays for G)
F: 003211
Dm: 200231 (use the thumb to fret the 6th string)
E: x22100 (or maybe E7: x22130)
(Note: be sure to strum the 6th string to keep the distinctive
droning C note going.)
Intro: C and Csus4
(hammering onto the 4th string at the 2nd fret)
G F C
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
G F C
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Dm F C
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Dm F C
Crying like a fire in the sun
E(7) F G
Look out the saints are coming through
Dm F C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The problem is the G/Em7 which is on the 2nd fret of the 5 and 6 strings with all others open....it just sounds terrible and wrong to me....the C F and D minor are all fine and the C seems to be finely tuned....i've tried working around it but I can't seem to find it....so any help would be greatly appreciated...
Theres a thumb on the 6th string move for the Dm which is quite difficult for me also, and I'm wondering if maybe my hand is just too small to really do it....any tips?
thanks a million
