Possible chord shapes: Amaj7(/E) B6 C#m7 F#m9 E/G# e|---0---------4---------4---------4--------4--| B|---2---------4---------5---------2--------5--| G|---1---------4---------4---------2--------4--| D|---2---------4---------6---------2--------6--| A|---0---------2---------4---------4--------7--| E|--(0)--------x---------x---------2--------4--| Some of the specific chord shapes are probably inaccurate, but I think the basic chords are correct. In the studio recording of the song the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings are generally loudest - the high e string is barely audible. Intro: Amaj7/E B6 C#m7 F#m9 Verse:
