Verse:
 
The guitar is moved so far back in the mix that it is difficult to get this
exact, so just kind of improvise with the A chord like:
 
Guitar 1 (Stone)
----------------------------------------
--x-x-2-----------2------x-2---------2--
--x-x-2-----2-0-2---2----x-2---2-0-2-2--
--x-x-2-2-2-----------2--x---2-------2--
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
 
 
Guitar 2 is just a solo type in Amin, so once again, just improvise
 
Guitar 2 (Mike)
----------------5~~~~~~-----------------
---------3~~~~~~--------------3~~~~~~---
--2~~~~~~-------------------------------
-----------------------2~~~~~~----------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
 
The chorus is more of the same but Guitar 1 is more of the chords rather
than the mutes and runs. Guitar 2's soloing is faster.
 
Since the guitars are so back in the mix, I can't really tell if the chords
are changing in the chorus, so you might want to throw in some chords based
on the bass notes (A, G, C, E)
