NOTE:
This is my own original interpretation of the main acoustic guitar part. I
think I’ve got it pretty close, although the other guitar(s) in the song
may have colored my choice of chord voicing. The strumming should favor
the bass strings with the high E not being sounded much at all. Listen to
the album for the chord changes.
