Here are the chords to a great song without all the second guitar riffs.  The intro riff
worth learning however to make it sound right. Fir more advanced guitar you can also
the riff at the beginning of each verse rather than playing A C#m7 F#m7.  Best played on 
classical guitar.

Bm(e)  xx4430
F#m6   002222
C#m7   446454
E7sus  020200
Db/F   100121
F#sus4 242422
