This is definitely one of my favorite songs in terms of how the chords were
used to achieve a very powerful dramatic effect.
E e
Db x43121 (x4312x also works if you don't want to bar the fret)
Gdim 34532x (I use my thumb for the E string; if you think that's
"improper" guitar technique just go with 345xxx)
Adim 56754x (Same as above)
Bdim 78976x (Same as above; they are all the same shapes)
Verse: Listen to the recording for the rhythm change
Fm Db Bbm Gb C x2
Fm Db Bbm Gb
Chorus: Keep going up the fret with bar chords
Fm Gdim Ab Adim Bbm Bdim C Db C x4
If you have trouble with the diminished chords, forget the chords and simply
strum the E string really hard and go 1-4-5-6-7-8-9-8, preferably with the
octaves. With vocal on top the chords will come out.
Dramatic pause before the final instrumental part:
Db C
