Listen to CD for strumming patterns.
The picking in the chorus isn't 100% accurate but it's pretty close.
G1 is clean electric, G2 is an acoustic and G3 is an electric on moderate distor

tion. Solo stuff is coming soon.
The bit before the intro is wierd, the chords are A#,C,G,Dm. 
It also has a weird timing, but thats all i could work out from it.
