Tuning: down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)|
Capo: none
(Note that the guitar is tuned down a half-step.)
There are two basic chord progressions in this song:
progression 1:
C# Bb Eb (that is: C# major -> B flat minor -> E flat minor)
(Yeah, I know the B flat minor looks weird as 'Bb'...oh well.)
C# Bb Eb C# Bb Eb
Eb |------|------|------| Eb |------|------|------|
Bb |------|------|------| Bb |---3--|------|------|
Gb |------|------|------| OR Gb |---2--|---4--|------|
Db |--12--|---9--|---2--| Db |---0--|---4--|---2--|
Ab |--12--|---9--|---2--| Ab |------|---2--|---2--|
Eb |--10--|---7--|---0--| Eb |------|------|---0--|
progression 2:
C# Bb Eb F G (that is: C# major -> B flat minor -> E flat minor -> F minor -> G major)
C# Bb Eb F G C# Bb Eb F G
Eb |------|------|------|------| Eb |------|------|------|------|
Bb |------|------|------|------| Bb |---3--|------|------|------|
Gb |------|------|------|------| OR Gb |---2--|---4--|------|------|
Db |--12--|---9--|-2--4-|--5---| Db |---0--|---4--|-2--4-|--0---|
Ab |--12--|---9--|-2--4-|--5---| Ab |------|---2--|-2--4-|--2---|
Eb |--10--|---7--|-0--2-|--3---| Eb |------|------|-0--2-|--3---|
The start of the song (the part with just guitar) has a slide up to the
C# and plays progression 1. The first verse is progression 1 then
progression 2 (you can hear the Eb to f to G chords played right before
the chorus). The chorus is progression 2. The rest of the song follows
the same pattern: progression 1 in the verse, progression 2 at the end of
the verse and in the chorus. In the chorus, when he repeats 'You and I
wouldn't change a thing...' he repeats the end of progression 2: Eb -> F -> G.
In the interlude/bridge (or whatever it might be called) after the second
chorus, he plays C# -> Eb -> F -> G.
As a side note: in my opinion, if you've only got one guitarist, it sounds
better to play the full chords in the chorus...something like:
C# Bb Eb F G C# Bb Eb F G
Eb |---2--|---2--|-0--2-|--3---| Eb |---0--|---2--|-0--0-|--3---|
Bb |---3--|---3--|-0--2-|--3---| Bb |---3--|---3--|-0--0-|--3---|
Gb |---2--|---4--|-0--2-|--0---| OR Gb |---2--|---4--|-0--2-|--0---|
Db |---0--|---4--|-2--4-|--0---| Db |---0--|---4--|-2--4-|--0---|
Ab |------|---2--|-2--4-|--2---| Ab |------|---2--|-2--4-|--2---|
Eb |------|------|-0--2-|--3---| Eb |------|------|-0--x-|--3---|
The full chords give a more full sound to it. (-:

This is played during the bridge or whatever it is (starting at 2:12).
For this melody only, the numbers are realtive to the twelveth

Listen for the timings in the last part, it's not too difficult.
