Chords
The chord are my own best suggestions if you're playing this on rhythm guitar,
based on a combination of the notes played by the lead guitar and piano on the album version of the song.
The actual lead guitar part on the recording is played with other fingerings than those I've indicated.
The chords have scary names but only the C6 is a bit difficult, and it can be played as a plain C.
