1. 2.
When we started recording I was consistently pulling some voicings out of tune. At the time I could not control this, so I revoiced where necessary (labeled CD). Now I’m better at it, so I use the old live ones again (labeled live). Notes: (1) When two notes are shown on one string, they are either melody (in intro) or options (in verse/chorus). (2) Roots are in squares. (3) Where chords repeat, I did not repeat the diagrams. You figure it out. (Bars 12, 13, chorus).

Many different fingerings are possible for these three chords; I don’t know what I used.
Or F#11 voicings from Verse 1.
