Here are the chords (I made up some of the names for reference.) Note that the chords are not always struck in full. Also, the same chords are played on the clean guitar in the 'As I drift away...' and 'I wish I didn't know...' verses are played with upstrokes (E-B-G-A-D-E strings), rather than downstrokes as is more normal.

This is the order the chords come in. Amin, Emin, Amin, Emin, F1, (F2, F3,) (F2, F3, F2, F1) Bracketed sections come close together. The verse begins 'As I drift away...' and both acoustic and clean electric guitars enter, playing the same chords. Again the acoustic pattern is loose and easy, whereas the clean electric just plays chords off the main beats. The order of chords is: Amin, Emin, Amin, Emin, F1, F3, F1, F3. (This takes us up to 'Loneliness...' The chorus ('Visions of love and hate...'): The clean guitar plays E|7-77-770-0-0-X4-7-77-775-5-558-8-88-8875-X2--| B|-------0-0-0---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| B1 B2 (135211@7) X4 B3 (xx14xx@1) B4 (x24452@1) B5 (x244xx@1) B3B4 X2 The acoustic guitar strums these chords, in the same rhythm. During 'And sometimes I despair...' the acoustic guitar plays these chords without the clean electric guitar. In the second chorus, the distorted guitar joins in.
