Chords in this song

Strum

 = bend
 r = release bend
B------2h3--2h3--2h3-5----
G--2h4-----------------2--
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-----------------
 What I have for the chords is :
 She  said  I know what it's like  to be dead  I know what it ...
 Basically it's these three chords for nearly the whole song, apart from :
 When I was a boy  e'thing was right  e'thing was right
 And that's it.
 As for the instruments : one guitar plays the chords, with a cleanish sound
 The second electric plays lead parts which sometimes echo the tune, but this
 guitar also plays the riff that comes after ' making me feel like I've never
 been born' :
E---------------------------------
B------------------------------
G---4b6r4-2--4--0-----0---2---------
D-------------------2---2--------
A-------------------------------
E-------------------------------
 So , with these two guitars you have bass - fairly simple stuff here, a lot of
 root notes except for the 'when I was a boy' bit, where the bass plays on the
 1st 3rd and 5th of the chords.
 Add drums, and harmony vocals (nearly all singing in 3rds) and you've got it.
 I just recorded a cover of this on 8-track, and stuck pretty much to the
 original sound. I double tracked that riff to give it more edge, and added a few
 more vocals, but it sounded very good.
 As a point of interest, check out the cymbals on the original.
 On the bit with the guitar riff (between verses) there seem to be a lot of loud
 cymbals - a lot louder than the bulk of the song.
