So when you see "A" in the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names. - (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge. - The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD. - In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it sound good. - The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a combination of the notes and chords. - This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
