G (320003) G5 (355xxx) A5 (x022xx)
Em (022000) B5 (799xxx) E5 (022xxx)
I think in the verses, when the acoustic guitar plays 'A' I think
it's really Asus2 (x02200). If you listen closely you can hear
he plays it like that. But no one seems to agree with me about
this so I marked it as a regular A in the song. But try the other
one and see what you think.
About the electric guitar in this song, the chords above the lyrics
are the chords for the acoustic, the electric plays the same
chords only with power chords. You know what I mean, if the
acoustic plays G the electric plays G5, acoustic A then electric A5.
The only thing you really need to know is about the 'G Em' chord
change that is used in both the verses and choruses.
In the verses the power chords are played like this:
E|-G5/G----------------E5/E------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--|
A|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
...but in the choruses and inbetween verses and choruses
the 'G Em' chord change is played like this:
E|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|------------------9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7--|
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7--|
A|--5-5-5-5-5-5-9-9-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5--|
E|--3-3-3-3-3-3-7-7------------------|
...and sometimes before going into 'G Em' the
electric plays this little fill:
Now that's really all I'm going to say about the electric, it should
tell you all you need to know. Now here comes the song with the
chords for the acoustic guitar.
INTRO: just acoustic guitar, no electric

In the outro, the first time you play it, it's just acoustic guitar.
The second time you play it the electric guitar joins in and then
you repeat it over and over again using both guitars.
The 'ooh ooh' sound I think is just someone singing. But if you
wanna play it on your guitar you can play it like this:
G|---------------| b = bend up
EmThrow your hands in the air
EmWave em like you don't care
