This is a tough one. The chords themselves aren't hard, like the basic harmonic skeleton of the song, but there are so many 'extra' notes added in cause of all the layers of guitars. Which I think is needed to get that richness of sound that makes the song so great, but it's hard to pin down what the exact notes are. And they probably used some weird open tunings on the track too

It sounds to me like basically all of the chords are extended major chords, like a maj9add13. e.g. the first chord is Ab major, and Ab maj9add13 would be a regular Ab major chord with an added G, Bb, and F. I'm listening to the song now and as the first chord fades out, the 2 highest notes I can hear on the guitar are a G and a Bb

So here's what I would put as the chords for the song. Bb 9add13 is a regular Bb major chord with an added Ab, C, and G. This probably still won't sound perfect because it's hard for me to figure out what tunings and chord voicing they used on the studio version. But if you mess around with different voicings of these chords (and combining different voicings played on multiple guitars simultaneously), you should be able to get pretty close
It also kinda sucks because it's kinda hard to play those extended chords on guitar. For a simplified version, you could make all the chords just have an added 6th instead e.g. Ab add6 (Ab C Eb F), Bb add6 (Bb D F G), Eb add6 (Eb G Bb C) etc

Code: Select all

np, I was inspired by your thread to try and figure it out. Those big sweeping chords are one of the best guitar moments in the whole AC discog
