Real World - Matchbox 20

Original song is in Bb, but played with open A tuned up 1/2 step
The chords are:
Intro - F#m(7)
Verses
A E E F#m(7) D E A
Chorus
A D E D A ....
However, my band plays it in D ;) (Chick singer) So these runs
are writen in D. Just subtract 4 or 5 from each fret # to
bring it down to the original. Hope you can adjust
Intro lick - Song is in D, but this riff is on a Bm (or Bm7)
