quite simple really, pretty much the whole song is
this 2 chord progression:
E 022100
Amaj7 x02120
E / / / | Amaj7 / / / |
solo
e-----------|-------------------|--------------------|
B-----------|-/9---7---7-/9~~-7-|--------------------|
G------9-11-|--------9----------|---9~~---------9-11-|
D-9h11------|-------------------|----------9h11------|
A-----------|-------------------|--------------------|
E-----------|-------------------|--------------------|
e-------------------|---------------------|----------|
B-/9---7---7-/9~~---|---------------------|-9--------|
G--------9--------9-|----------------9-11-|-9--------|
D-------------------|-----------9h11------|-9--------|
A-------------------|---------------------|----------|
E-------------------|---------------------|----------|
there's this little guitar 'lick' between each line of
the following chorus:
e-------------|--------|
B-------------|--------|
G-11b13b11----|-9------|
D----------11-|--------|
A-------------|--------|
E-------------|--------|

after that chorus jim does a bit of slide guitar,
which I think is just something like this:
e-----------------|-------------------|------|
B-9-----------9sss|s14-----------14sss|s9----|
G-9-----------9sss|s14-----------14sss|s9----|
D-9-----------9sss|s14-----------14sss|s9----|
A-----------------|-------------------|------|
E-----------------|-------------------|------|
you get the idea. the 's's represent the sliding if
you hadn't guessed...
at some point there's (shock) a chord change, where
that little guitar bit goes: (the chords played are
over the top)
A x02220
A Amaj7 A Amaj7
e------------------|------------------|
B-10-------9-------|-10-------9-------|
G------------------|------------------|
D------------------|------------------|
A------------------|------------------|
E------------------|------------------|
A Amaj7 A
e------------------|------------------|
B-10-------9-------|-10---------------|
G------------------|------------------|
D------------------|------------------|
A------------------|------------------|
E------------------|------------------|
then back to the original chord progression, then
that's it, enjoy
