Chords

I'll assume you know the rythm of the song and everything, so I'll just put the chords... I know the chords are right, but they add some weird notes to it I tried to get them right, this is the best I could do... C#7: x4345x F#m7: 242222 or 242252 A: x02220 or 577655 B: x24442 or 799877 D: xx0232 or x57775 Dm: xx0231 or x57765 C#: X46664 F#m^: xx4x55 This is what the 2nd guitar basically does while the other one plays the F#m7... Actually it only does the F#m^ chord, but I added the other part for you to understand the rythm...
