G-4--      --2------| 
D-5--      --2------|

Verse 
A(5th fret)x3/B(7th fret)x2/C#m(9th fret)x3/B x2 
A x3/C#m x2/B x3 

then pick out something like these notes 
e---7-5---7-5-75----------------------| 
B------------------7-5--4-5-4-5555554-| 
G-6-----6----6---6--6--4-4-4----------| 
D-------------------------------------| 
A-------------------------------------| 
E-------------------------------------| 

then almost the same thing 
e---7-5---7-5-75----------| 
B----------------7-5--4---| these last 
G-6-----6----6---6-6--4---| three more slowly 
D-------------------------| 
A-------------------------| 
E-------------------------| 

Then to Chorus, which is like the intro minus the opening three chords 
E    G x2    A x2   G x2    E (alternate w/ pinky on hi F# note) 

Closing is something like this 
G~/A x4/G x2/A x4/G x2/E 

if you have a second guitarist, you can throw lots of fuzzy Vini Reilly style leads in  
around the E chord in the Chorus and elsewhere
