CHORDS:
        Emaj7   - x-7-9-8-9-7
        F#      - x-9-11-11-11-9
        B       - 7-9-9-8-7-7
        C#m     - 9-11-11-9-9-9
The strumming in the intro/verse is mostly muted with the chord coming out every once in a while
so listen to get the pattern, but it's something like this:
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 +  4  +

It may be that the Emaj7 is just a normal E barre chord for the chorus,
it's up to your discretion, I guess.
Let me know if I've gone awry.
