I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
    G    F  C     D   Em        D C
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
D|--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
A|--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
E|--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|

and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
  Bm    Am    D/C---same as D
e|----  ----|
B|----  ----|
G|----  ----|
D|-9--  --7-|
A|-9--  --7-|
E|-7--  --5-|
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
