23 picking + chords:
the tuning is NOT standard, ( D A D G B E ) its drop D, apologies for that.
(may not be exactly as they play it with some parts (marked *) as i add small fills/transitions) (exact plucking numbers are, i think, right. count them yourself if any doubts, just play along with the song and you'll pick it up in no time)

x2 (only do the last bend on the second time through, 1st is just B-3-3-3-2-2-0-0-0-
where marked with [ ]'s )
(intro bit again + drone through first verse, else play these chords)
(i advise the intro part as played on guitar the G chord will never really sound correct (played on piano a simple g b d is correct, make your own chord if you wish) )
Bm (2 2 4 4 3 2)
A (5 7 7 6 5 5)
D (2/x 0 0 2 3 2) - (i play 2 at the bottom, purely because it is part of the D chord, but you can always leave it out, completely optional. most people leave it.)
G (variation) (5 3 3 4 3 3) - This is how i have my hand when plucking the intro part, dont forget to take finger off for the e and back on quickly for the d - anyways thats what i play)
(small fill before verse 2) ( ! = drone note )
E-0!--2!-3-2!-(3-2-3)* Bm chord into verse 2(intro part)
B---2!--------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------

verse 2 chords continue (Bm A D G(var.))
(plucking preferred)

i play a different riff almost each time i hear the song, so really just pick and choose what you want, keep it in key, and you can play any riff. have fun
whilst it isnt in the song, i like to end with this riff again.( timing correctly should land you
right on the D chord when the song finishes - sounds great)
