This intro is almost as the one 13:
e/———————-
B/———————-
G/—–5—–7-10-12-9–
D/—5—7-8————
A/-5——————–
E/———————-
In the song there are a few guitar fills:
GUITAR FILL 1:
e/—————–
B/—————–
G-4-4-4-6-11-9—–
GUITAR FILL 2:
e/—————–
B/-12-10-9-5——-
G/—————–
Graham play some strange chords during the verses. I saw the chords in
a
live gig that I recorded. But I`ll write 13 after the chords. Here they
are
in the right order:
B13: (76x8xx)
A13: (54x6xx)
E: (022100)
G13: (32x4xx)
F: (133211)
A#13:(65x8xx)
C#: (x46664)
He doesn`t play this order all the way during the song.
When you play the first two "13" chords then bend the G string a
little.
But I think he uses some sort of pedal that makes that "bending" sound.
Because he doesn`t bend the G-string when he plays the song.
