Great song with beatiful harmonies. 
There is a guitar playing
small intervals palm muted 
throughout the song. There is an 
acoustic
guitar strumming all the chords 
(yes, all the chords, not just
three!). And a few overdubs. It 
might be that the acoustic guitar
is played with a capo on the fifth 
fret. I will give you a version
without a capo but the chords can be
 difficult to place. You can
use the easier to play alternatives.
 I can give you some if you need
'em.
When you see Bb/D it means you have 
to play a Bflat major triad with
a D in the bass. For the harmonic 
feel it's important that you play
the chord that way. That harmony is 
too beautiful to ignore. Not when
you're playing it with your band 
ofcourse cause your bassplayer can
play it then.

I will not go to deep into the part 
for the acoustic guitar.
You can find the intro in the 
Tab-part. I will give you an
example how you can play it 
throughout the song:

  Example: C-chord (alternate up and
 downstrokes)

That's what I want to tell about the
 acoustic guitar. The rest I've
told you above (under chords and 
rythm).

Rythm guitar
============

Here follows the part for the palm 
muted guitar playing all the
small intervals throughout the song.
 Just hold the side of your
hand-palm against the strings (near 
the bridge) to mute the strings
while using only downstrokes. Most 
of the notes are straight eights.
