Tuning: E A D G B E
In the solo for guitar 2, the "G*" is really more 7th, 8th, 10th fret on strings 3-2-1, respectively.
Necessary to bring the higher register D in for the sound at that part, and the 2nd string G doesn't hurt
with the underlying chord.
Prefer barre chords for the verses, open chords for the bridge and chorus (esp. on acoustic).
