There are two guitars playing at the beginning of the song. This is the
basic riff from the guitar in the left speaker. The right guitar is the
same, but perhaps with more percussive noise. Also, the second time this
riff is played it is a little different, but then reverts back to the
original form for the rest of the song. Maybe it's just me, but the
second version sounds like it's just a mistake.
Verse:
A9 A9/G
v--C# bent up about 1/4
---X--------00-------------------------------||
---X--------/5----5-------2-2^_2-------------||
---X---4\(0)------4--------------4-2--------*||
---5-5------------5------------------2------*||
---X--------------X--------------------------||
---5------------5-5-----3--------------------||
Bridge:
Here the meter switches to 3/4. The notation is supposed to resemble
slash ryhthm notation. The chord forms are all standard 6th-string-root
barre chords.
F G Am G
/ / / / / | / / / / / | / / / / / | / / / / /
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(back to 4/4)
F E F G
/ / /__/ / / | / / /__/ / /

' --- --- ' | ' --- --- '
The ending:
I'll just give the chords since the rhythms are not consistent and the
duration of each can easily heard on the recording:
v--sometimes G
----(3)-------------------------------------------------------------------
--3--2--2-2-0-------------------------------------------------------------
--2--3--2-3-0-------------------------------------------------------------
--2--2--2-2-x-------------------------------------------------------------
--0--0--0-0-2-------------------------------------------------------------
---------------0-3_0-0-0--XX----------------------------------------------
^-^------------These last two may not be right...
