There are two guitars for the most part: strumming and picking.
THE STRUMMED GUITAR HAS DROP D TUNING.


--INTRO (after vocal intro) (0:21):

Strummed guitar plays this repeated D major chord:

e|--x--|
B|--3--|
G|--2--|
D|--0--|
A|--0--|
D|--0--|

Picking guitar plays this (listen to song to get a sense of rhythm, cos its
quite tricky):

--Break similar to second half of the intro.


--VERSE 2 (1:13):

Am/D                  Dsus2
Hold me dear, into the night.
Am/D                         A6add4   D6/A  A6add4
Sun it will rise soon in the.


--ELECTIRC GUITAR BREAK: all on D chord. Acoustic parts here are the same as
        (1:38)           in the intro. Often at cross rhythms, so the
                         measures here cant be totally accurate.
