F#m might not be the exact chord but it sounds right.
Chords are played over words as such
D A F#m A
The mountain is high, the valley is low
D A F#m A
And you're confused, on which to go
D A F#m A
So I come here, to give you a hand
D A F#m A
And lead you into, the promised land...so
__________________________________________
You can pretty much use any strumming pattern you like for the chords, or just play them
where they occur, whatever. One I like to use is
D A

1:02 Verse 2 "All over the country..."
Repeat chords for 1st verse, match w/ corresponding words.
1:18 Chorus 2
Repeat Chords as well but for post chorus Riffs do only up to the first two bends and
time hitting and holding the 2nd fret on the G string (A). Also here a second guitar
the bend riff as soon as the 1st guitar has hit the first bend.
1:37 Solo:Well I'll be honest this is my 1st time tabbing a solo, but I'll do my best
since no one else tabbed it. I broke it up into sectionsso it isnt too confusing to read.
Most of the solo switches between A major and minor pentatonic, with a second guitar
in at about 1:54 that solos as well. Verse chords are played under the solo. I'm
a little iffy about the part played under the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Yeah" because its hard
hear, but i gave it my best shot with that.
(Yeah, Yeah...)

1:54-->Dual Lead Part-->Okay Here I'll tab out each guitar at a time. It was a good
each guitar track was in either the left or right speaker so i can mute one and listen to
other track. Lucky Me eh, guitar 1 will be the left speaker and guitar 2 will be the
I will tab all of guitar 1 first then all of guitar 2, but they probably wont exactly
up the way the notes are, but tab has no rhythm notation so that wouldnt matter anyway.

I'm going to tell you right now that is definitely not 100% correct but its decently
and sounds almost the same.
2:05-2:19-->No guitar, could be one pick-scratching but its probably keyboard.
2:20 Outro Riffs-I'm going to write out the lead part, for the outro the rhythm is just
intro chords. There are also 2 guitars playing the riffs but they are pretty much
the same thing, just one comes in less than a second later.

Outro Solo....I am not going to write. Its not too difficult to figure out, very
to the first solo with 2 guitars, but this time they are playing identical riffs.
