This song has three guitars in it, one is a 12 string, which has a capo on the 2nd fret
and plays the top chords which are shown here in parentheses.  A 6 string guitar plays
the other chords and the lead.  Forgive me if there are a few mistakes/typos in here...
this thing was a pain to type out :p

This is where things get complicated....
The 12-string starts messing with picking patterns based around these chords:
        Am   E7   G   D9   F   C   Dm   E7

The 6 string playing the chords begins playing what the 12 string was playing in the
intro, but without the capo.

The lead guitar starts playing this:

The lyrics begin here and everything keeps doing the same thing, except the 6 string
doing the chords, which stops playing until the first verse is complete. 

Chorus, 12 string plays these chords:
        F   C   D7   Am   F   C   Dm   E
The rhythm 6 string plays this:
        G   D   F#  "Fill 2"  D   Em   F#

Lead plays Fill 1, 2, and 3.

The lead stops playing for a while until the "Last thing I remember..." verse, where he
plays this, which leads into the solo.

       Last thing...           I was runnin' for the door.                   I had to find the

There is it... hope you like it, and sorry if it gets confusing at spots... just listen
to it a few times and you'll figure it out eventually.  The 12 string is not completely
necessary for it to sound great, but having 2 guitars is convenient.
