Chorus: The chorus is a Cmaj chord at the third fret (3 3 5 5 5 X) with some picking on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings (low to high), after which parts of the intro repeat. There might be a Gmaj in between the Cmaj and the Emaj-based part. The bass is definitely going to a Gmaj, but it's hard to tell what the guitar is doing (i.e. it doesn't matter :-}) The next verses are basically the same, with the first guitar playing different fills and harmonics. Someone else can figure out the bridge before the solo and the solo itself; my fingers are tired.
