OK, my guitar teacher transcribed this recently. So credit goes to...Jeff. I don't know his last name yet. :) The version I brought in for him to use is the one from the Diffidence bootleg, because you can hear the guitar pretty well in that. It may be slightly different from the album version, but it still sounds good.
standard tuning
I think there's more than one guitar, but what I have sounds good by itself...
For all chord fingerings, just assume that I used EADGBe as the order.
Intro: (same as chorus)
The chords you use are A, E, E/F#,E,D/E,C#/E,D/E,E
The important thing when strumming is to really let the high e,b,g,and d strings ring out. They are more emphasized than the bass notes in the song.
Finger the A chord normally(x02220), then play the E chord just as xx1200. Add in the F#, to make that 2x2100,then make it a regular E of 022100. Slide down to the D/E, fingered as x5x450.Move to the 4th fret on the A-string so that becomes x4x450, and move back to the x5x450. Move to the second fret on the D-string for an E chord, which makes this xx2450.
So the patterns look kind of like this:
A:x02220
E:xx2100
E/F#:2X2100
E:022100
D/E:X5X450
C#/E:X4X450
D/E:X5X450
E:XX2450
The verse chords are:
A, D/E, F#/E,E,D/E
Use the same fingerings as above, but for the E chord, use 0x2100.
I haven't really fooled with how many times you repeat this pattern for the verse or anything; I'd recommend just listening to the song and playing along with it to get a better feel of that.
A:x02220
D/E:X5X450
E/F#:2X2100
E:0x2100
D/E:X5X450
I think that does it. Please mail me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks!
