  And from what I can hear, 
there?s no guitar until right 
after the first Chorus, during the lead part,
which is exactly the same as the intro, so,
just reference to that part, right after the
solo bass part.

For the last part there?s an acoustic guitar that Im not sure
about.  I?ll just put the chords that I think they play.

Dmaj, Amaj, Bm, Gmaj, Amaj

That?s the basic jist of it.
