For the beginning, put your fingers into this chord the simple and obvious way...

Intro Part I [listen to the song for the simple rhythm] Clean.

Intro Part II. [Rhythm Guitar.] distortion

[Lead Guitar] distortion

Intro Part III.
The RHYTHM GUITAR will repeat the same pattern, except this time LEGATTO,
two times through while the LEAD GUITAR keeps that strum pattern going,
playing it another two times.  Then it simply goes into:

*The second chord can either be that or A5. Both work.

And it also sounds like the second guitar may be playing this chord:

*The second chord can either be that or A5. Both work.

Verse One

*The second chord can either be that or A5. Both work.

^^^Play the above three times through^^^ At the end of third time,
after it is only the guitar playing, it goes into the same pattern
except you switch the order and play it twice.

Instead of 5-5-3-3-2-2 on D, start with the 2/3 slide part.

 This is a real close guestimate of what the notes are,
 this is the most difficult part to hear through the entire song.
