Tuning: E A D G B E
None of the other tabs had the correct chords, including that weird sounding chord,
so I decided to make correct tab. The chord in question is an F#m7b5/C, which contains the notes
F#-A-C-E. I play it like so:
e) 5
B) 5
G) 4
D) x
A) 3
E) x

The chord patterns are similar throughout. However, that F#m7b5/C returns again at the end of the
guitar theme in the middle of the song. Otherwise it is replaced by an Esus2 as in
the first half of the intro.
