I don't know about the "who's gonna star the sunshine" bridge. On 
the album, all I can hear after the first A chord, are bass notes. Live,
it looks like they're playing some kind of chords I can't pick out,
but I've tried at the bottom.  I think playing power chords with the
bass roots works ok.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I think this is the voicing for the intro
A=X07650, E=022100

Intro 
A E A E A E A---

        EJackie, (022100@1)you yourself said it best when you said:
A (x02220@1)   "There's been a break in the continuum.

Notes for "who's gonna start the sunshine"

I tried to make up chords out of the harmonies,  but I'm not 
getting it and I'm tired.  Why hasn't someone already done this for me?
Sometimes you want to just play a song and there's no tab out there...

Maybe they're playing this live?  I can hear the high b.

Aadd9=XX7657  B=XX4447  D6=XX7777  C#=XX666X

or just play power chords.
