Surrender - The Dropkick Murphys

I did the chords for this song a while back and I've yet to figure out the intro 
and fill, so i'll give you guys this.

i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played, 
but i'm sure everyone will get the point.

the way i pick the lead guitar is: (for Bb to F to Ab)

|-----------------x---x--x--x-----x-       
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x-      basically pick the-
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x-          -higher half of the chord,
|-x------------x--x------------x--x-      then the lower half once,
|-x------------x--x------------x----      then the entire next chord.
|-----------------x------------x----
