Actually, you have to play the bass during the song :
F#F# E MajorE C#C#
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
GbGb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
DbDb|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
AbAb|---------------------------------/4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
Eb MajorEb|--2---2-2-2-2-2-2-0---0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------|
But if you want to play the song without other instruments, I think you should play the
entire chords :

Before the lead guitar outro, you can play this :
eb|-----------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|-----------------------------------|
GbGb|-----------------------------------|
DbDb|-----------------------------------|
AbAb|-/4---4-4-4-4-4-4/4---4-4-4-4-4-4--|
Eb MajorEb|-----------------------------------|
While the rhythm guitar is still playing the verses chords, the other guitar plays the
outro :
eb|--------9-------9-----------9-----9---------------|
Bb majorBb|-----10------10------10---9-----9-----9-----------|
GbGb|--11------11------11----9-----9-----9-------------|
DbDb|--------------------------------------------------|

Eb MajorEb|--------------------------------------------------|
eb|-------12------12------12------12------10------9--|

GbGb|--------------------------------------------------|
DbDb|--11------11------11------11-------11------11-----|
AbAb|--------------------------------------------------|

*Sometimes, in live performances, Jan plays some notes during the second part of the
verses :
eb|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb majorBb|--9~----9~----9~----9~---- or ----9h10----9h10----9h10----9h10--|
GbGb|----------------------------------------------------------------|

*If you want to play this song on standard tuning, the chorus are Fm, Eb MajorEb and Cm. For the
lead guitar, move your fingers one fret to the left.
THE END!
