Chorus: 
The chorus is a Cmaj chord at the third fret (3 3 5 5 5 X) with some picking 
on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings (low to high), after which parts of the intro 
repeat.  There might be a Gmaj in between the Cmaj and the Emaj-based part. 
The bass is definitely going to a Gmaj, but it's hard to tell what the guitar 
is doing (i.e. it doesn't matter :-}) 
The next verses are basically the same, with the first guitar playing different 
fills and harmonics. 

Someone else can figure out the bridge before the solo and the solo itself; 
my fingers are tired.
