Intro:
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D    Dsus4

Tab: (This is the actual strumming patterns; hope it helps)

-2--0--2----3-3--3--  This is the first half of the pair;  I have tried to
-3--0--2----3-3--3--    approximate the timing with spacing between chords.
-2--2--4----0-0--0--  It also sound better if the first G is an upstroke,
-0--2--4----0-0--0--    and the following two G's are downstrokes.
-x--0--2----2-2--2--
-x--x--2----3-3--3--

-2--0--2--2-2----3--  This is the second half of the pair;  again, timing is
-3--0--2--2-2----3--    approximated with spacing between chords.
-2--2--4----4----0--  If you can squeeze in an upstroke of those bottom two 
-0--2--4----4----0--    strings between downstrokes of a Bmsus2, it will 
-x--0--2----2----2--    sound great.
-x--x--2----2----3--

Then the D to Dsus4 is simply strumming, listen to the record (I know... but it
 is the best way to get it all!)

Derek: Clean guitar, played over Cliff

Intro: (These are weird chords, I have tabbed them out below.  It took
          me a good 5 minutes to even figure out a theoretical name for
           them, which are, btw, correct!)

  E Esus2  Aug-G#m-sus4 A9
  E Esus2  Aug-G#m-sus4 A9
  E Esus2  Aug-G#m-sus4 A9
  E Esus2  Aug-G#m-sus4 A9
  E             Esus4

Verse:
  E   Asus2
  E   Asus2
  E   Asus2
  C#m  B
  C#m  Asus2  B  B

(*Note on verse*: because E and Asus2 are both played on so many open 
 strings, you can get a clearer sound if right as you change chords, 
 you use your (free) pinky finger to mute the strings, almost as if you
 were using the finger as a bar.  E-mail me if you are lost on this.)

Chorus:
  Asus2  E
  Asus2  E
  Asus2  E
  B   B

Bridge:
  C#sus2  Bsus2

(*Note on bridge*: This pair is played 8 times underneath Cliff's vocals.  
  To play it as on the record, pick through the chords, do not strum them.
  A pattern focused on the high 4 strings will serve you best.  The 7th 
  and 8th times, quickly strumming the high 4 right as you change, then 
  continuing to pick them will sound best.  If you have questions on this, 
  let me know.  That's what I'm here for :-) )

The pattern is exactly the same as Cliff's
