* Note: over the first 'A' chord in the verse the 2nd guitar (that plays the intro notes)
plays C-A-D-E, so theoretically it should be an 'A minor', but I'm not completely convinced 
it's not an 'A major'. I personally prefer 'Am', but I leave it up to you guys to play it 
according to your liking.
