These are just the basic changes. No point in sending any tab, if you wanna
play it like Zakk, you gotta play piano!
Instead of D/A, you can obviously play D/F# or anything you like (sus2 often
works nicely), as I said, he plays very nice arpeggios on piano and later on
electric guitar too, which I can't figure out accurately and think it's not 
worth the effort. Sorry.
