Chords

D5: xx0235

Dsus2: xx0230

D+: xx0332 (ie: D augmented chord; play every D+ chord after the intro as xx0330 for authenticity!)

D: xx0232

Bm/D: xx0432

D7: xx0532

G6: 320430 (for simplicity, a GM7 chord sounds nice while still sounding essentially the same: xx5432)

Bmadd11: x24430 (for simplicity, a Bm/D chord sounds nice while still sounding essentially the same: xx4432)

A7: x02020

A7b13: x02021

A7add13: x02022

Dadd11: xx0234 (actually a Dadd11+ chord without the 3rd interval, but oh well; dang automagic)

Dsus4: xx0233

General notes:

Use a chromatic tuner or other tuner that supports tuning to different Hz's (specifically: A = 450 Hz)

if you'd like to play along to the song authentically! Also, if that would make your strings too tense

or you have a fear of them breaking due to being tuned up nearly a full semitone, tune the guitar to

Eb standard after setting the tuner to A = 450 Hz and then put a capo on the first fret to still play

along with the song. :)

Also, the [Solo] section of the song is played arpeggiated for one guitar to the same chords. If you'd like

to play the solo itself instead, though, I've included it below the chord+lyrics sheet.

And finally, the [Outro] section's chords are approximated to be able to be nicely played, but the way

the song actually plays the outro is also included below the chord+lyrics sheet. It's a bit of a stretch

for the hands, but playing it authentically just sounds a good deal better in my opinion.

Otherwise, enjoy!
