Chorus: the main chord progression is as follows (2 beats for each chord):

        A  C  D  E  G  (yes, 10 beats in all). This is played twice (1st

D--------------14-13-12-------------|-----------------------14-13-12-
A------------------------14--13--12-|--------------------------------

                    another guitar is playing this during the 1st chorus:
E-----------------|---(w/ vibrato)------------------------------------

D-----------------|--14----14-----repeated all through the chorus-----
A---14---13---12--|---------------------------------------------------
E-----------------|---------------------------------------------------
                     1  2  3  4 ...

G--------------14-13-12*------------------------------
D-------------------------14-13-12*-------------------
A-----------------------------------14---13---12---etc...(improvise)

        (ie. 10 beats)
