This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. I have supplied some of the chords to
this one. The rest of them can be played as normal. Please note the A/F# isn't a true inversion.
If you listen to the intro, the first verse and some other places in the song, you will hear
the F#F# being played with the A. If desired, you can use your thumb to come over the top of the
neck and play the 6th string at the second fret - this will give you a true A/F#, however this
sounds to bassy to me. A augmentedA better way to play it is to the second finger to barre the open A augmentedA and
then use your pinky to play the F#F# on fourth string at the fourth fret as needed. This actually
sounds much better and still gives you a decent chance to get to the open D MajorD major chord.
Please note that I did not tab out the A/F# anywhere except for the intro. If you listen to the
song a couple of times, you should be able to quickly figure out where it is played.
