Intro - Solo

During the solo, move up to the G string on the 11th fret position.
During the verses, play the acoustic D chord, then move the step downs on
the A string, then the E string for the Ab and G. If you're playing with the
band, just play D and let the bass play the step down notes.
For the E5 in the chorus, mute the G string but play every other note.
For the pre-chorus, this is what the lead is playing:
Bm Bm/sus A Asus4
e|--------| e|--------|
B|--------| B|--------|
G|--7--6--| G|--7--6--|
D|--7--7--| D|--7--7--|
A|--x--x--| A|--x--x--|
E|--7--7--| E|--5--5--|
You can just play the D & G strings and not even play the root note since
the bass is playing it... but if you're playing acoustic by yourself, there
ya go.
