In this song there is 1 picking pattern and 4 strummed chords.
The picking pattern is played in the verses and interludes. Notice that
the pattern for the E and the C#m7 is excactly the same, as these are two
very similar chords. You can also just play the picking pattern as strummed
chords, those would be the first 3 chords I've added in the chord chart.
The strummed chords are played in the chorus and bridge. Those are the
next 4 chords in the chord chart.
Capo on 2nd fret

The Intro-Riff:
This riff is played by an electric guitar with overdrive in the intro-parts.
It's played with capo on the 2nd fret. I have notated it below as if there
was no capo on, since it's easier to read. So the open string (0th fret) on
the high e-string is still actually a F#-note on the 2nd fret - say the capo
just hold that fret for you. Well, long explanation, here you go! ;)

It's not really useful putting chords to this part. The first part would
switching between E/f# and F#m7, and the second part is changing between
Dmaj7-5, D5maj7 and Dmaj7 rather randomly. It would be a better idea to
generalise it to just F#m7 and Dmaj7.

Notice that Jason plays with a capo on the 1st fret live. It's actually not for
any use chord-wise - it's simply just sounds less horrible if you accidentally
strike open strings with the capo on :)

In this song there are just 5 five chords. Most of the time it's just the
picking pattern being repeated. Therefore I think it's easier to just refer
to the picking pattern as one round.

In this song there is 1 picking pattern and 4 strummed chords.
The picking pattern is played in the verses and interludes. Notice that
the pattern for the E and the C#m7 is excactly the same, as these are two
very similar chords. You can also just play the picking pattern as strummed
chords, those would be the first 3 chords I've added in the chord chart.
The strummed chords are played in the chorus and bridge. Those are the
next 4 chords in the chord chart.
Capo on 2nd fret

The Intro-Riff:
This riff is played by an electric guitar with overdrive in the intro-parts.
It's played with capo on the 2nd fret. I have notated it below as if there
was no capo on, since it's easier to read. So the open string (0th fret) on
the high e-string is still actually a F#-note on the 2nd fret - say the capo
just hold that fret for you. Well, long explanation, here you go! ;)
(I have typed this riff into GP5 as well, so just mail me and ask for it!)

Dmaj7-5, D5maj7 and Dmaj7 rather randomly. It would be a better idea to

Notice that Jason plays with a capo on the 1st fret live. It's actually not for
any use chord-wise - it's simply just sounds less horrible if you accidentally
strike open strings with the capo on :)

In this song there are just 5 five chords. Most of the time it's just the
picking pattern being repeated. Therefore I think it's easier to just refer
to the picking pattern as one round.
