This is where things get complicated....
The 12-string starts messing with picking patterns based around these chords:
        [Am]     [E7]     [G]    [D9]     [F]    [C]    [Dm] [E7] 
The 6 string playing the chords begins playing what the 12 string was playing in the
intro, but without the capo.

The lead guitar starts playing this:

The lyrics begin here and everything keeps doing the same thing, except the 6 string
doing the chords, which stops playing until the first verse is complete.

Chorus, 12 string plays these chords:
The rhyt[F]hm 6[C] str[D7]ing p[Am]lays [F]this[C]:   [Dm]     [E]
G D F# "Fill 2" D Em F#

Lead plays Fill 1, 2, and 3.

The lead stops playing for a while until the "Last thing I remember..." verse, where he
plays this, which leads into the solo.

From here on out, One 6 string plays the top (e.g. 10p7 7) and
the other plays the bottom (7p3 4).

There is it... hope you like it, and sorry if it gets confusing at spots... just listen
to it a few times and you'll figure it out eventually. The 12 string is not completely
necessary for it to sound great, but having 2 guitars is convenient.
