I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this: 
  G    F  C     D   Em        D C 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------- 
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5------------------------------------------- 
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3------------------------------------------- 
--3--3/1--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                  
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well: 
Bm    Am    D/C---same as D  
----  ---- 
----  ---- 
----  ---- 
-9--  --7- 
-9--  --7- 
-7--  --5-                 
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when  
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
