Chords Used:


  Dsus2 Em7  G   A  D/A Bm  F#m  D/C#* B/D* D/A* G/F#*

The D/A (not sure what the real name for this chord is) is really
implied by the notes played (see the picking below). If you dont 
play the picking sections you can just play a strait D/A like in
the chorus (*).    


Picking:

Most of the picking particularly in the verses however 
is just playing the chords kind of semi arpeggio by making sure 
to hit the high e,b and or g strings on the up stroke after 
strumming the chord - listen along to get the idea.

The most important 'voiced' notes in the 
intro and verses are on the D/A type chord (4th chord) which is always 
picked. The variations for the picked notes on this chord are as
follows - I will add the variation number after the chord below 
to denote which fill is being played (approx).  
    
     D/A 1       D/A 2             D/A 3         
e|-----------|---------0h2------|---------------|
B|---3h5-3---|-- 3h5-3----5p3---|--3-3h5-5p3----|
G|---2-------|--2----2----------|--2------------|
D|-----------|------------------|---------------|
A|-----------|------------------|---------------|
E|-----------|------------------|---------------|


Obviously these are all in the same measure so you will have to 
adjust your timing to fit the different fills in.


In the Chorus it is important to sound all the bass notes of the chords:
