Chords

This is the opening bit on the acoustic. Pretty easy, just bar the open A chord so that you can bounce up and down on the second fret for the F# note and have your pinky ready to hit the G# note on the 4th fret.
e|-0---2---0------2---4---2---0---2-|
B|-2---2---2------2---2---2---2---2-|
G|-2---2---2------2---2---2---2---2-|
D|-2---2---2------2---2---2---2---2-|
A|-0---0---0------0---0---0---0---0-|
E|----------------------------------|
This is repeated throughout the song where I have the A chord. The lead line just does very minor variations on the 0-2-0-2-4-0-2 stuff on the high E string.
