At times you can hear the three notes of the intro chords plucked in
the pattern of low-middle-high-middle. Later, the same up an octave.
I've written two ways to play the chords. The first is the easiest,
but I saw them live and it looked they played it the second way.
easy live
F/A: X032XX 587XXX
F/Bb: X132XX 687XXX
F/C: X332XX 887XXX
Csus4: X330XX 885XXX

Is there another way to play the Bb chord in the chorus besides the barre chord? I've watched a few videos of them playing it live, and it seems like they're playing a C or something, but I can't tell for sure.
