Notes: (1) During the verse, the D4-D means that the normal length for one chord is split between the two. It's just a stylistic thing, not really necessary but more like the recording. (2) In the chorus he plays Em7 8 times and Cadd9 4 times at normal tempo, then 7 double time stopping short. But I'm sure you could pick it up if you listen to it. (3) I'm not sure if there is actually a Cadd9 in the verse, but I think so. It feels like it belongs, and it sounds good, so whatever. I've tried to make this as exact as possible, but these are some pretty lo-fi recordings and Youtube vids so it's hard to make out some of it. It works for playing the song, but if you have something better, correct me. Don't just whine or berate me if you think it's wrong. Thanks!

It may not be exact, but you get the idea. It's just supposed to be the melody. In terms of leads I have no clue as to what Max is ever doing, nothing I do ever sounds exactly right.
