Bridge:

I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
  G    F  C     D   Em        D C
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|

and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm    Am    D/C---same as D
----  ----|
----  ----|
----  ----|
-9--  --7-|
-9--  --7-|
-7--  --5-|
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.

Corrections welcomed!
