Intro:
D Asus2 Bm—sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm—sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm—sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm—sus2 G
D Dsus4
Tab: (This is the actual strumming patterns; hope it helps)
—2——0——2————3—3——3—— This is the first half of the pair; I have tried to
—3——0——2————3—3——3—— approximate the timing with spacing between chords.
—2——2——4————0—0——0—— It also sound better if the first G is an upstroke,
—0——2——4————0—0——0—— and the following two G's are downstrokes.
—x——0——2————2—2——2——
—x——x——2————3—3——3——
—2——0——2——2—2————3—— This is the second half of the pair; again, timing is
—3——0——2——2—2————3—— approximated with spacing between chords.
—2——2——4————4————0—— If you can squeeze in an upstroke of those bottom two
—0——2——4————4————0—— strings between downstrokes of a Bmsus2, it will
—x——0——2————2————2—— sound great.
—x——x——2————2————3——
Then the D to Dsus4 is simply strumming, listen to the record (I know... but it
is the best way to get it all!)

Intro: (These are weird chords, I have tabbed them out below. It took
me a good 5 minutes to even figure out a theoretical name for
them, which are, btw, correct!)
E Esus2 Aug—G#m—sus4 A9
E Esus2 Aug—G#m—sus4 A9
E Esus2 Aug—G#m—sus4 A9
E Esus2 Aug—G#m—sus4 A9
E Esus4
Verse:
E Asus2
E Asus2
E Asus2
C#m B
C#m Asus2 B B
(*Note on verse*: because E and Asus2 are both played on so many open
strings, you can get a clearer sound if right as you change chords,
you use your (free) pinky finger to mute the strings, almost as if you
were using the finger as a bar. E—mail me if you are lost on this.)
Chorus:
Asus2 E
Asus2 E
Asus2 E
B B
Bridge:
C#sus2 Bsus2
(*Note on bridge*: This pair is played 8 times underneath Cliff's vocals.
To play it as on the record, pick through the chords, do not strum them.
A pattern focused on the high 4 strings will serve you best. The 7th
and 8th times, quickly strumming the high 4 right as you change, then
continuing to pick them will sound best. If you have questions on this,
let me know. That's what I'm here for :—) )
The pattern is exactly the same as Cliff's
