Ok here's a pretty deep song and maybe hard to listen
to for some people.. but i liked it a lot and figured
it out. please leave comments with potential corrections
as i think some of the Bm chords are supposed to be Bsus4
chords. During most of the D major chords in this song,
he does a little fill on the high E while keeping the rest
of the chord fretted.
e)--2-2-2-3-2-0<<.. Like that.
During the middle instrumental with the solo acoustic
guitar (12 string i think), he uses some different voicings
to create a melody... I believe those voicings are mostly
sus4 chords.
Dsus4: XX0233
Bsus4: X24452
