Tom: Dm

   A                F                      G7               F

E|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|

That is how it is played in the recording. I personally like to play the A chord in the
open position like this:

   A                F                    G7               F

E|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
G|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
D|------2---3---2--|----------3---------|---------3------|---------3--------|
A|--0-----0---0----|-----3--------3---3-|-----5-------5--|-----3-------3-3-.|
E|-----------------| 1-------1-------1---|3------3---3----|1------1------1---|

This progression is repeated throughout most of the song. There is  little lead that
goes over this riff in some parts which goes like this:

  A                 F                    G7               F

E|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
G|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
D|--7--7---8---7---|---7h9---7----------|--7h9--------9--|--9b------9b------|
A|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
E|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|

Sometimes that lead may vary.

There is a break in the song where they are only playing the roots of the chord which
would go like so:

E|--5--5--5--5-|--1--1--1--1-|--3--3--3--3-|--1--1--1--1-|

Towards the end of the song, the chords are just strummed:

  A                  A                   G                  F

E|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------|
G|-6---6-6---6-6-6-|-6---6-6---6-6-6-|-6/4---4-4---4-4-4-|-4/2---2-2---2-2-2|
D|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7/5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3|
A|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7/5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3|
E|-5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3-|-3/1---1-1---1-1-1|

Then a picking pattern:
