Hi Neil,
I am not quite sure, what you mean with the 4** chords - or if you just joke about what looks like lot of stuff..... but it "simply" is mixing chords an melody of a song, sometimes including a bass line....
The main chords are: Em6 / B7 / Am / F#m7-5 / B7
The interesting thing - in my opinion - is, that the upper tones move up two half-tones, but the bass changes from E to B !! - not to F# !!
Looking at the upper tones from Em6 that is e-g-c#. If you play an E-Bass, its Em6, if you play an A-Bass it becomes A7 - that is, what I called the sound of "mixing the harmonies"....

Many greetings
Gerhard
