This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Not including chords with this
one, unless people ask for them. On the slash chords, it is perfectly fine to play
the chord as normal and omit altering the root of the chord. In other words, for the
Dbsus2/Ab, just play it as a Dbsus. I write out the slash notes for our bass player
and/or rhythm guitarist.
