Chords

I did this chord chart on piano but its meant to be picked on a guitar so a lot of this song has to be from listening to it to get a feel for how to play it on whichever instrument. During the verses where they have the first chord sustained, they alternate within the lead guitar between sus4 and sus2- listen to the song for the main instrumental melody. [Verse 1]
