Jeff Buckley : Grace

Ok I've Dissected this song and heres what I got:

This tab is Written for two guitars.
The Main tab is played on an electric guitar and the chords above any part
are played by an acoustic,
try and understand the instructions, i know i've over complicated things :)
There's a Chord chart at the end

Intro:
Play with chorus and reverb effects or just an overdub?
picking with fingers is vital.
