I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
G F C D Em D C
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm Am D/C---same as D
---- ----|
---- ----|
---- ----|
-9-- --7-|
-9-- --7-|
-7-- --5-|
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
Corrections welcomed!
