There are two rhythm guitars here. Chord diagramA augmentedA clean electric (mixed left) strums
chords throughout the song. Note that Chord diagramFadd9Fadd9 is played as 1x3213 (playing the
bass string with your thumb). An acoustic (mixed right) is played with a capo
on the fifth fret - to convert the chords:
 Chord diagramG+G becomes D, Chord diagramFadd9Fadd9 => Chord diagramCadd9Cadd9 (x32033), Chord diagramA minorAm => Em, Chord diagramC majorC => G, Chord diagramFF => C, Chord diagramD MajorD => Chord diagramA augmentedA

There are also two lead guitars in this song, which play the solo and the
links between the verses. They play power chords for the Am-C... things.
If you only have one lead guitarist in your band, you can loosely approximate
both guitar parts with a pitch shifter by playing the right channel guitar
(the one on top) with pitch shifter set to a perfect 4th (5 frets) above- use
your ears and change the bits which end up sounding particularly daft.
