how fancy you want to get; look at the footnotes for fingering instructions

FOOTNOTES:
* Gsus2, Asus2/4, D/F#, Cadd2, & Cmaj7 chords are optional, but I feel they
add depth and richness to the song. Note that a chord like 'A - Asus2' just
indicates that you should switch to the sus2 at some point in the two
measures you'll be playing the chord. It's something you just gotta feel.
Although none of these chords are particularly difficult to play, the basic
versions are helpfully listed underneath:
_ Gsus2 | Asus2 | Asus4 | D/F# | Cadd2 | Cmaj7 (A.k.A. Em/C)
e 3 0 0 x x 0
B 3 0 3 3 3 0
G 0 2 2 2 0 0
D 0 2 2 0 2 2
A 0 0 0 0 3 3
E 3 x x 2 x x

G A A D C Em <--Basic Chords

** Un-capo'ed, the chords are Cm, Ab, F, Eb, Bb, C#, and Fm7. I don't hold
with dumb chords like D#, G#, or A#.

*** Yes, before you complain, I know this isn't the actual bridge, but if
you're trying to play the song on acoustic guitar or piano, you really need
a guy behind you wailing on an electric guitar and stomping on a fuzzbox to
make the actual bridge not sound neurotic and disjointed. My version flows
with the song well enough that nobody I've played it for has ever noticed
the difference. Bridges exist so lead guitarists can show off their soloes,
whereas this version is designed to be played solo. If you have a friend
who can wail, the actual bridge is: D C Bm G x4 .
