The chorus has very minute variations by Juan but they don't vary from the notes that 

Intro/Verse:
(0:10)

  Variation 1:
G|---------------------------|
D|-------------------------3-|
A|------------0-3-5-6---6----|
E|-----(3)-------------------|

  Variation 2:
G|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------------3-6-|
A|------------0-3-5-6----------|
E|-----(3)---------------------|

  Variation 3:
G|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------------6-3-|
A|------------0-3-5-6----------|
E|-----(3)---------------------|

Juan plays variation 2 before the chorus.

Chorus:
(0:50)

G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-3-0-3-0-3-5-5-0-5-3-5-6-6-0-6-5-6-5-5-0-5h6p5-6-|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

G|-------------------------------------------------|

A|--3-3-0-3-0-3-5-5-0-5-3-5-6-6-0-6-5-6-8-8-8-8-8--|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

(1:12 "Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn...")

E|--3-3-3----3-3-3----333----3-3-3----3-3-3----333-|

Timing on this is strange. Listen to pick it up.

G|------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------3-6-|
A|--------------------0-3-5-6---3-5-6-------|
E|-----3\0-0-1-3\0--------------------------|
