* in the brackets you strike only one note and not  
A 
chord; you can use
 
the 2 finger chord instead (
E 
.
G 
. for  
B 
sound | | | 3 |
———————> | 1 | | |
 
the note that must sound  
B 
will be 1)

* for the intro I would suggest to use this C5 chord between frets

3-5:

1st string | 1 | | |

2nd string | 1 | | 4 |
3rd string | 1 | | 3 |
4th string | 1 | | |
5th string | 1 | | |
6th string | | | |

 
* for verses there’s  
A 
background guitar harmony – I think it’s
 
Rudolf’s)…It’s like  
A 
phaser picking using the  
Em 
chord on 7th
fret. You also could play these chords acoustically as well
with no use of distortion. So…HAVE FUN !

 
PS: During the chorus, in the line  
A 
 
Em 
 
D 
 
Em 
the chord  
D 
might 
 
be
 
wrong; it might be  
A 
 
F# 
instead…anybody who thinks is  
F# 
(same 
 
as
for the bass) please let me know
