Now a few things, so I don't get flamed.
I may have named the chords incorrectly.
I know how they're played, but not necessarily called.
Towards the end there is a D7 G C for "Can you hear me Mjr Tom, can you hear
me Mjr Tom, can you hear me Mjr Tom" which might be a D7 C G instead.
The two cool rythym guitar parts might be F C F G G A instead of C F C G G A.
I don't have my guitar right now and my hand could go either way in the air.
Lastly, the B(something) I'll bother to reveal...

  |e|-X-|---|---|---|---
  |B|---|---|-X-|---|---
  |G|---|-X-|---|---|---
  |D|---|---|-X-|---|---
X |A|---|---|---|---|---
X |E|---|---|---|---|---

Is this a Bb7?

Hope I haven't really fucked this up.

Later...
