Chords

There was a pretty good one already on here but there was an E on the chorus in that one where I've put a C#m, I think this way is correct. There are a couple of tabs with the intro on too so I won't bother with that. It's best to just play around with it if you're playing lead. The chords are pretty basic. The pattern for the verse can be a bit of a pain at first but other than that it's all very straight forward. [Verse]

Repeat Grahams bit 6x Damon plays the chords barred but I think the B and high E strings are open. That sounds great if you've got the full band playing but if it's just one guitar, you're better off sticking to the standard chords.
