I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
G F C D Em D C
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5----------------------------------------
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5-------------------------------------------
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3-------------------------------------------
--3--3/1--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm Am D/C---same as D
---- ----

-9-- --7-

You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
