I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
  G    F  C     D   Em        D C
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--975----------------------------------------
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--975-------------------------------------------
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--753-------------------------------------------
--3--3/1--------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm    Am    D/C---same as D 
----  ----
----  ----
----  ----
-9--  --7-
-9--  --7-
-7--  --5-                
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when 
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.

Corrections welcomed!
